Anana just prior to crossing the Spur from Joan Street to East Barge Drive; I like this image because the white snow and Anana’s classic Alaskan Malamute black and white coloration is set off by the yellow gold color of the light from the setting sun on the trees
Alaskan at Last! 
Looks like her coat thickness has set itself to Alaska climate! Pretty shot. Air looks clear and crisp.
Happy New Year Tom! Yes, Anana is blowing her coat but only in sections; this has been ongoing since November and is a bit unusual. While it means less loose fur at any given point it also means the entire ‘blowing’ process is lengthened considerably. I think I prefer she just blow her coat all at once; I’m literally awash in Mal fur for a month but then its done. However, to live with a Mal is to live with dog fur; its something you have to accept. Thanks for the kind words; I did like that pale late afternoon light in the trees appearing counterpoint to all the white and blacks…
