Springtime in the water - 10

Jordan in Ontario shares this photo of Nanook sporting a fashionable ombre look to his fur.

From Wikipedia:
Ombre /ämbər/ or less used "ombré" means shading or shadow. The word is applied primarily in this article to describe the gradual blending of one color hue to another, usually moving tints and shades from light to dark.[1] The word's mispronunciation and misuse among as "ombré" (used in the title of this article) comes from the confusion of the English and French word for shadows or shading "ombre"[2] (without the accented "e") with the word "hombre", which is a false cognate, a word that actually means "man" in Spanish. The word correctly pronounced rhymes with the English word "somber" /sämbər/.
Shading has always been a commonly seen as a treatment wherever coloring is applied and has been. It has became a popular feature for hair coloringnail art, and even baking, in addition to its uses in home decorating and graphic design.[3]
