Let sleeping dogs lie…especially when they’re stacked

These two canine companions were having a warm summer snooze in the driveway of their owners as I drove by. They live in a house near Fox Island and the surrounding backwater, so I’ve seen them many times before. In fact, I’d even heard about them sleeping this way before…I had just never seen it for myself. Now I have, and so have you! What a great couple of pals these pooches must be.

Friday night sunset

Our family spent the evening at a friend’s place northwest of Mandan. My friend and I decided to walk the land, since he’s got a bunch of it. As we were wrapping up our survey of the area I was able to snap this blazing orange sunset shot, complete with streaming rays and majestic hills. Life in the country sure is good.
