I must apologize again for the lack of posts but as I said before I am moving at the end of this month so it’s been a bit of a whirlwind! From this trip I will have two blog posts for you, this post is the fun hiking photos while the other is some planned shots for my 50 faces project & working to take photos in black and white as I’ve mentioned in previous posts.

Behr and Alexis were reunited for the weekend, after 2 weeks apart (since we are in between places Behr isn’t with us for the month we only see him on some weekends), which made Behr was a very happy puppy! Saturday Alexis, Behr, and I set out for Blue Hills in Milton to let Behr get wet in the water and do a bit of hiking. First we had to drive around to find some available parking and we got lucky and found a spot near Houghton Pond. We set off first towards the pond to let Behr do a little swimming.

Behr likes to swim for the most part but prefers when he can touch the ground, when he can’t touch the ground he looks like he’s struggling a bit, and one he is back on ground he seems to frustratingly gurgle up water he got in his mouth, and he is quick to shake himself dry throwing water on the rest of us.

That last photo is so dramatic and the others so silly I might just have to print all three as a series for a wall in our new home!

Once Behr seemed sick of the water and even Alexis couldn’t coax him back in we set off for the woods and did a leisurely loop with lots of stops to take photos with Alexis modeling for me… coming in the next blog post.
