Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Husky Dogsled Huskies love the snow. They love to run and play in the snow. They would rather be outside running, playing, working, or just taking a nap in the snow than anything else, except possibly eating. As natural sled pullers, Huskies instinctively know they should pull the sled with other Huskies in their new pack. When the harnessed dogs are being attached to the sled, they are very excited; barking, jumping, and talking “Husky”. As soon the musher calls “mush”, the dogs all become quiet and start pulling the sled. As soon as the sled stops, they go back to barking and howling. Several dogs in this team were newcomers to dog sledding. With fresh snow falling, the trail had not been groomed like they typically are for races so the dogs had to break a new trail in the snow.

The Back Story The snow shower added to the drama of a simple click image. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
