Ice Blue
Posted by Mandy Provan (Johannesburg, South Africa) on 13 September 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
Inspired by Rob and His 2 dogs, I decided to take a few shots of my sister's Siberian Husky pup - Storm. She's about 4 months old now and derived her name from the havoc she is causing in their home!!!
She has the most beautiful eyes. One Brown and one......Ice Blue.

What a perfect name and what a beautiful young dog she is. From the looks of her nose, Storm must be a "digger" in the yard, yes? Way back in high school, I had a friend who had one greenish-brown eye and one blue. Storm is much prettier than he was. Heh. Blessings on your day. =o)

@Viewfinder: Yes she is definitely a digger.....my sister has had to lock her away from her new spring garden bed as she thinks it's rather fun to dig up all the new seedlings!!! hahaha.
She really is beautiful though, I love huskies - there is something really special about them! Blessings to you too my friend! Thanks for stopping by today.

@MaryB: Thanks Maryb!! That's very kind of you. So wonderful of you to stop by! I'm always thrilled to know that you've visited!
Rob from Velveetaville, United States
Oh Mandy, great photo (I'm old school so I can still use "photo")! You have captured the spirit in this pup, you can just feel the energy. Have you heard her talk or sing yet? The Huskies are notorious talkers. Mille's "Huskie" genes take over when she wants me to do something and talks my ear off till she gets her way.
Thanks for saying I was thin inspiration for this, I appreciate it, it was not necessary, but I truly appreciate it.
More please...

@Rob: It's a pleasure Rob....you were the inspiration...your pics of Max inspired me to find a nice friendly canine face and photograph it!!! I should've found a more docile subject though...this one was far too bouncy! hahahaa
She's a real yelper....cries for the smallest thing, I think she just loves the attention she gets when she cries like a baby!! hahaha. Thanks for your kind words, it's always lovely to see you've stopped by.
Stop by again tomorrow.... I have another one of the little critter!! :)
R from Nowhere and Everywhere, United States
Nice shot !!! I am always amazed by Huskies and there different colored eyes .... I met a man once with two different colored eyes ..... I guess I can figure out who his father was !! LOL..... Have a great day !!! :)

@R: I know.... aren't they amazing?? I think this is the first one I'd actually seen with 2 different coloured eyes up close!!! Thanks for stopping by!!:)

@Rob: Hey Rob,
That's strange cos when I click the link it goes to your site. I'll check it though incase anyone else is having the same prob!!
Thanks for the heads up!
Lala from Long Sault, Canada
Mandy! This is gorgeous! The pup is beautiful ( major dog lovers over here ) and the way you have captured him in the framing of the shot is terrific.
I also dated a boy with two different coloured eyes...he was a little havoc - like as well...

@Lala: Thank You Lala!!! It must've been the eye's......seems to run in the genes! :)

Beautiful animal I always think the Bi-eyed colored Huskys are the more beautiful. A friend of mine runs a team of white Siberians every year in various dogsled races during the winter.

@Morris J. Chisholm: Hey Morris. That sounds awesome. i watched the movie "8 below" and just fell in love with them all over again...they really are magnificent creatures! Thanks for stopping by!

Wow. I really like the Sept. 14th shot, but her blue eye is just too (wonderfully) intense in this shot. Nice capture.
BTW: I can't turn my camera on w/o mine coming to see what I'm doing. ;o)
