Valentine's Day hike

I snapped this just before Teddy bounded off to play with some other dogs coming up the trail. He assumes the "down" position in order to coerce other dogs to play with him. Notice that he's not looking at the camera AT ALL. This is one of our usual hikes, not far from our house, but on an unusually clear and beautiful day. This was taken facing northeast (I think) so that may be San Pablo Bay way off in the background.
