Paws Walk Perspective...

Seated securely in the middle of the trail, camera firmly in hand, I was woefully unprepared for the onslaught of playful, slobbery, lens-licking greetings from nearly 1500 fuzzy quadrupeds, each exuberantly walking their owners through the 2017 Annual Paws Walk fund raiser.

For the uninitiated, when there's important stuff to sniff out and investigate in the woods, combined with a plethora of other dogs and people to greet all over the place... dogs tend to move very fast. And as if this didn't make 'pupular' photography difficult enough, these fast moving bundles of curiosity varied in size so much that I found myself perpetually jumping up, sitting, and even laying down to get the proper, most flattering perspectives of these overjoyed family members.

However, the most challenging photos to capture were those of the pups deciding to curl up in my lap for a post-rehydration break and head-scratch from a new friend. After a few moments, though, the allure of an uncharted trail, filled with new sights and fantastic smells was too much to ignore, and the pups excitedly continued down the trail with their family.

Photos or no, it was a good day for everyone.
