It is rare to get my two border collies still in the same place long enough to get a still shot of them. Fate is moving every second, Red is always happy to look at the camera. But I have very few shots of these two wonderful creatures together. After we do our morning chores, Red sits by the door waiting to go inside and get to work with me.

Fate is usually sitting by the pasture gate, or eating chick food, or sniffing out the tracks of the rabbit, her new obsession and nemesis. I made a strange clucking sound – animal photographers learn to do this – and Fate froze, trying to figure it out. It might be awhile before I get this kind of shot again.
