Failed Familial Portraits
Dogs: They are uncooperative with photos.
I like this crop though:
Yay for sun!

Uncooperative maybe, but the photos turned out well. The girls (including you, ha ha) look very happy and healthy.
I just noticed that there is a crawlspace under your porch and cabin. Don't animals go under there and make their homes? Like skunks or raccoons?
Also I wonder if you've ever thought of screening your porch off in the summertime so you could sit outside w/o being bothered by the mosquitoes? Or would it be too difficult to secure the screening so that it's temporary for the summer?
We don't have skunks or raccoons. The "crawl space" is not for access. It's an Alaskan convention to thermally isolate your house from the ground so you don't melt the permafrost and have your foundation collapse on you! My cabin is not on permafrost, but the builder followed convention.
I always thought raccoons were very pesky and kind of scary, but they are so cute that I miss them nonetheless. :)
I have definitely "thought of" screening the porch in, but that's as far as I got, due to laziness. :)
