Sentinel of the Valley

As we made our way up Mount Stevens in the Hughes Range of the Rocky Mountains, Ellie overlooked her domain across the Rocky Mountain Trench and beyond into the Purcell Mountain Range. I like how her ear is blowing in the wind and the dust on her face from when she would let out a sharp exhale while sniffing the ground. Photo by Laszlo Hulicsko, October 21, 2010
