Related: About this forum'Tis the season of sled dogs.
This is the time of year for our annual Fur Rendezvous winter carnival, a 10-day celebration that culminates in the start of the Iditarod. There are all kinds of events and exhibits going on around town, but today we went downtown to watch Day 1 of the World Championship sprint sled dog races. The teams will race the 25-mile track today, tomorrow and Sunday and the best average wins. There are racers from as far away as New York and several from Canada.
I only took the wide-angle today, but tomorrow I'll probably do some telephoto shots, as well. I just love to photograph the dogs. They have such great expressions.

(8,039 posts)that came to mind. I wait for this all year now, just to see your photos along with your comments on them. I love the way you capture the dogs expressions. Hope your eye is doing much better and you are happy with th results.

(46,436 posts)is that I see color differently out of my left eye (the one that's been fixed) than I do my right eye, and a third set of colors when I have both eyes open. It makes editing a real challenge because to get true color now I have to close my right eye to eliminate that "muddiness," but I still can't see clearly out of the left so I really can't tell when things are in focus. It'll probably take another month or so for the blurry vision to clear up completely, so I do hope everyone will bear with me and maybe tell me if the color looks off on anything.

(8,039 posts)has to be but will bear with you and say something if the color looks off. Though you do have back up eyes there too. Having gone through a blurriness of my own and because of more than one doctor misdiagnosing it to where I even had double vision with glasses that part I can understand. Including the worry that it was not fixable. Finally found one that listened to me and found out I was not near sighted, I did not need reading glasses or bifocals, but I am farsighted. So now have glasses that work.

I'm sure that your focus/color challenge will subside soon!
