Aspen

Not many shots out today as something happened when I was walking with Minka and let her run free.
Soon after this shot I heard some scratching and whining and Minka didn't come to me when I called her.
I had a bad feeling and began to run and wade in the snow up to my knees towards the voices.
There she was in the water of a narrow but quite deep stream trying to get back onto the ice. Fortunately I reached to her collar and could help her up.
We were both there lying and gasping in the snow for a while and then hurried back home to get warm and change dry socks ... so no more shots.
Both safe and warm now!
...and I bet Minka will be more careful on the ice next time!
