I rented a substitute Oly for my upcoming trip, as my EM-1 is still in the shop. I miss my camera... very fun to shoot with it (or its sub) again.

@taffy S/he looks like a working dog breed, if so that look is usually called 'the gaze' here, as in staring down sheep or cattle as if daring them to blink first.
