Walking

The sun is low in the sky and the shadows are long on the dirt road. It was frigid as I walked down the road with the two younger dogs. The old one was left looking out the window. The vet told us our distinguished old gentleman has a bad heart. So we left our golden retriever, Champ, inside by the warm woodstove.

The breath of the youngest, Rob, steamed out of his nostrils like a war horse as we waited for Dulcie, our foxhound. She has a way of disappearing into the trees, leaping away in the undergrowth in an instant. So Rob and I waited patiently until she came back to us. Rob, an Aussie mix, has severe hip dysplasia at 18 months. He's compensating with lots of love and exercise as well as daily physical therapy. But he knows that he can't keep up with the hound. So we wait.

She comes back as she always does, breathless and smiling ear to ear. We head home to the warm fire and our old friend waiting by the window.

INCREDIBLY TALENTED photographer! This photograph is AMAZING! Julie has wonderful communication. I can not recommend JulieMagersSoulen highly enough! You will NOT be disappointed!

Nancy says:
Everything about this purchase went smoothly. Julie made an effort to get it out in a hurry for Christmas. And her work is outstanding. Very high quality photo and just looking at it on Etsy truly does not do justice to how beautiful her work is once you get a chance to see it in person. I can't wait to order more!

Profile Page

Welcome to my blog! Since I moved to Colorado more than 20 years ago, I have been an avid outdoors enthusiast. In the late 90s we moved to a solar powered off-grid home and I love the independence. Where I live is so much a part of who I am. I live in a very remote area of the Colorado Rocky Mountains surrounded by miles of pine forest. I wake up to bird song or simply the wind in the trees every day. The air is crisp and pine scented. My water is from a very deep mountain spring well and tastes like snow. My solar powered home forces me to flow with the whims of the sun.

I use digital cameras and so my "darkroom" is a computer. My studio has a south facing window and is full of books, a reflection of my love of reading. I also love hiking in the surrounding Rocky Mountain forest with my two dogs. Nature permeates my life and inspires my photography.
