Using a camera may not seem like a particularly hazardous hobby, but Hu-Dad has the bruise to prove that dangerous photography is a real thing.
![Oh, look, Hu-Dad is on the porch. I should run say hi.](https://thethunderingherd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/20190520-Canon-EOS-70D-IMG_6722-1024x683.jpg)
We had a spectacular bout of weather yesterday evening. Cool, dry air with gentle breezes. Hu-Dad settled onto the porch to watch the dogs play and the lightning bugs come out. As night falls, the rhythmic flashing is mesmerizing.
![Picking up speed. Going to be with the Hu-Dad in mere seconds.](https://thethunderingherd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/20190520-Canon-EOS-70D-IMG_6724-1024x683.jpg)
Sitting on the porch, camera in hand, Hu-Dad was taking photos of The Herd and noticed that Landon had noticed the Hu-Dad. Boom Boom was racing to say hi just as fast as he could. A flash. A blur.

Only when Hu-Dad snapped his last photo, the very next one you are about to see, did he realize that Landon planned to leap over the human in a single bound. Hu-Dad flinched which raised his leg off the porch placing his knee directly into Landon’s flight path. One rock solid Siberian Husky head traveling at warp speed leaves a mark. Trust us on this one.

Mama Bear Warning
July 12, 2024
Mama Bear crashed through the underbrush, growling and snorting with her eyes locked on her targets—us. Her warning was clear.
The enthusiasm of Sibes is boundless and to be marveled at!
A dead run and no brakes. Typical husky.
Oh the hard Head of a Husky…I know all too well! Boom looks crazy in that last photo. Just nuts!???? He’s so funny and expressive. As he gains speed, his eyes grow wider. Landon, you’ve been a Clown since you joined the Pack. Keep up the good work…We need a daily dose if Boom!????
Ouch!! That must have hurt. They do have rock hard heads.
OUCH!! That must have hurt. They do have rock hard heads.
Oh my goodness that’s a fast moving Sibe!!! I hope all participants are safe, well, and unhurt!!
Oh No Hu-Dad-a husky traveling at warp speed is a dangerous thing! I hope you iced the bruise and it feels better today. Landon ONLY wanted to say-“Hi”! When ours was young and he was traveling like that-I held onto the house for dear life as he traveled to meet me while I stook in the yard with him!
