It’s rare on a walk with Scout to snap a photo of her whole face. As you would think, it’s mostly nose to the ground, tail in the air and the quick “check-in” glance to make sure I’m still in radar distance. The opportunity for this photo of her full-on face materialized because she had to check out a dead bird downhill by the water. I caught her with the telephoto on her satisfied return. Head-on.

Scout has always been a serious dog.
She can be goofy and playful, but her every day expression is Serious.
When I look at her face, I sometimes feel inadequate and silly in my human-ness.
Then she’ll pounce on a toy or eat snow and she is a fur-child again.

Camera shy is not the right term for Scout. Camera averse is a little too strong. She tolerates the camera, as long as it doesn’t impede her list of things to do.
In this photograph it is clearly interrupting the throwing of a ball.
Camera tolerance is low.

My first photo of a year-long photographic project with Scout.
It’s fitting that we’re hiking in the woods, where she’s the happiest.
And always a look back to see where I am.
Hi Girl.
