~Digital Portraits~
I know I'm ahead a week, but I will be away on vacation in Virginia Beach next week.


My model of course is my American Eskimo ~Dixie Nakita~
She was named this because she came from the south, (Dixie)
and because in Sioux Indian - Nakita means wandering white wolf.
She was a stray that adopted us.


These pictures were taken at her level off of my kitchen floor by our slider glass window. The only white object that I could get to stay steady enough was a bag of styrafoam plates - which you can see in the background here. They reflected some light, enough to gleam through her fur.


As you can see, it's about nap time for her and these are the most quiet looks
she will ever show. She's usually a bounding ball of white fur, even at her ripe old age of 10.

The locals here in our home town have various names for her:
Barrel (slightly over weight in the past - and when she runs you can imagine the waddle)
Polar (this picture shows her abomidable snowman heritage)
Dixie Dog (Affectionately)
Digger (gardens are not safe in our neighborhood)
Boom Boom (afraid of lightning, she'll run for cover and "boom, boom" through everything until she's safe)
