These aren't great shots, but they are a "fun" record of how nasty the weather was over the weekend.
A dog and his bone.
Remember last winter when Maisie hated the cold and snow? Well, who could blame her ;-). She was the only sheep willing to venture out the
other afternoon. Notice Hank doesn't care if she comes near his stuff. If Graham wasn't such a weenie and had tried to walk behind him... Well, that would have been another "fun" set of pictures ;-).
Off she goes.
Finding a little grass peeking through.
Ugh. Here comes the wind again.
"Maisie? You think you should be out here?"
"Nope. I'm heading back."
"This weather is wearing me out."
"Yeesh!!!"
The look of resignation on her face. Poor Maisie. Hank keeps right on gnawing on his bone. He knows he has limited time...and not due to the weather ;-).

I think Hank is wonderful!
Wow -- you really nailed the exposure in that first image! White dog in the snow ... NOT an easy shot!
Nice work! :-)
Love the interaction betw Hank and Maisie. :-) It's wonderful to see her all grown up and wearing her own coat, after her wobbly (though extremely cute) polyester-coat days (and weeks). :-)
January calender hanging in my room right above my desk shows lots of snow and sheep eating their hay...chomp chomp chomp~! You didn't label the calendar this year so not sure who is who...but your pictures here shows you are on the right track for January..
Love the pictures of Hank.. what a great dog....I always think it's awesome to see dogs rolling in the snow.. Yikes that would be cold I would think.. Is he making Snow/Dog Angels?
We are having a heat wave here..21 degrees and sunny..
ta ta for now from Iowa:)
Great photos and a beautiful dog! Thanks for sharing!
Great capture of the cold/wind/blowing snow - i had to put my merino wool Inis sweater on after looking at those...
(see, thanks to you i know what the heck merino wool is LOL)
xoxox
Handsome Hank.
Great series-I can feel the wind!
These are too great shots. Especially the expression on Hank's face when the wind whips up. We've all been there and then some this winter. I like how he crosses his paws in the first picture. Holly does that. Faithful Maisie, hanging with her big furry friend.
Wow, what a super-perfect picture post! Simply stunning!!
You take amazing pictures.
p.s.
I hope one of these pics will appear in the 2015 calendar.
He must not be cold laying in that snow, but it freezes me to look at those photos!
Great shots especially of the snow blowing..you must have been cold too! I can see sparkles in that one shot! I love Hank Week:)
What do you mean, these aren't great shots? Sometimes it isn't about the technical side, its about the story- love it!
Being able to withstand high winds in frigid temps brings the prize of eating a bone in peace. I get the trade off, Hank ;-)
Bookmark that first pic of Hank for next year's calendar. Great shot of him with his eyes closed avoiding the blowing snow too.
I too, love Hank week.
Loving Hank Week. Thanks!
Yeesh........says it all. Great shots. Thanks, Hank week is great!
Hi Sara! Great pictures! Especially love the first one of Hank. Hope you all are staying warm! We've got snow tonight :-) Pass some hugs out for me!
Blogger just hates me so i am hoping your get THIS comment, loved the shots of the white on white dog and sheep and snow. It seems to me that your light is getting brighter, we are still in Hobbit Gloom. Mama sends her love and wishes to tell you that she and her daughters got into terrible weeds and are full of burrs and so miss c will have no wool this year, their fleeces are a mess. But next year (I will not be breeding due to travel) I am going to put coats on them so they stay clean for the winter.. have a lovely bright wintery day. c
