Heartbeat DSC_3161
I didn't do much photography at all while I was at Phillip Island. It actually felt rather freeing. It would be a first for me.
I did visit one of my favourite places -Cadillac Canyon. I always get a drenching here as the water rushes in unpredictably. However, on this occasion it was my dog Harpo that nearly ended up in the water and scared the life out of me.
The Sherpa was walking him off lead to the other end of the beach. There was no-one around and we have been working on his recall. For some reason, he spotted me from the other side of the beach and came running full speed towards me, and up onto the rock ledge where I was photographing from. The rocks are so slippery and he was so close to this canyon. If he went in, there was no rescuing him. I grabbed the tripod and quickly got off the ledge, almost slipping myself. Fortunately he followed and all was well apart from my racing heart which took quite some time to settle back down.
Clearly we still need alot of work on his recall!
