When taking pictures of Ninja there are often odd colors in his fur. In bright daylight, he seems so much lighter than he should and as soon as it becomes cloudy, he looks very dark.
Ninja’s coat is reflecting colors…
Urban Ninja framed in Graffiti…
Yesterday we took a long hike. I had some spots where I wanted to make shots of Ninja, to show something different.
A longer hike ahead…
We are about to start a longer hike today, hence the early post. Not quite sure where we will head to, maybe to Gonsenheim, maybe to the Rhine… maybe towards Bingen, I’ll let Ninja decide.
Surprised by Rain…
Recently we had many rain showers. I started checking weather sites before we start a long hike.
Imagesequence of a very happy Ninja
When Ninja is running very happy towards me, he will either waggle his head to the left and right or do a little excited jump just like seen here. It warms my heart every time I see it…

How does your dog express happiness?
Yesterday I asked if anyone – including YOU! Haha – knew a manufacture for dog collars… 80 comments without a single answer. I’d be very thankful for some suggestions.

Husky ‚Ninja‘ talking growl
You have probably seen videos of Huskies talking. They are communicative and likes to talk. Akiak, my previous Husky, loved it… we could talk for minutes and he seemed to enjoy it.
Ninja however was completely silent during the first 2 years. No barking, no howling, no talking… Eventually I noticed when I tease him with commands, that he would make a very decent “growling” sound… I used rewards to make him bark on command.
I recall how difficult it was… his “growling complaint” when I was teasing him happened once maybe every couple of days and it was difficult to properly reward him for it.
Once Ninja realized that I was not mad at him got “talking back”, I was able to teach a “friendly growl” on command. I am not sure if it serves a purpose or not… initially, he would not bark or growl and I think this is a matter of respect… Even now, I need to encourage Ninja a few times, before he starts to growl/bark.
You can see that he often licks his snout, it is to appease me “This is not serious; we are just having fun… right?”
On a side note:
We lost our collar at our last stay in Switzerland. Can anyone recommend a good manufacture? We usually have some custom made collar made of soft leather that can easily be pulled over his head. The one used in the video is a bit too long and can hit Ninjas teeth. We need a new one!

One more Sunset…
Yesterday I described how you could use a dark motif as a stylistic mean while shooting against the sun…
Sunset Photography skills…
A reason why I usually do not post sunset images is that I find the images difficult to edit. Like this one e.g.
