A black labrador retriever listens intently to the sounds of the whispering forest as it pauses by the rocky creek bed.

A black labrador retriever sits leashed at the viewpoint, his gaze drawn from the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Valley to something unseen deep within the forest. Across the basin, the impressive Russian Butte looms, bathed in the soft morning light under a clear sky.

A black labrador retriever, bathed in the morning sunlight through the open forest, contentedly gnaws on a slender stick amidst the rocks and undergrowth.

Early morning forest romp.
