I do this project every year for FETCH! to promote their annual fundraising event. Several years ago, I designed the image with the dancing dog balancing wine bottles, surrounded by stars and superimposed over Whidbey Island. This image has been used consistantly for the last three years in all print marketing used to promote this event. FETCH! is a client that gives me total freedom. Nice!

While taking pictures of gulls at the Levee in Marietta Ohio in Jan 2013 I noticed some gulls that seemed to be playing fetch with floating sticks in the river. A gull would pick up a small floating stick take off into the air with it, and after reaching 20 or 30 feet in the air let the stick go. As the stick would fall back to the water the gull would chase it and sometimes catch it before it hit the water. Then he would start all over again. Often other gulls would notice the game as they passed and join in the chase. In a few cases when the stick was snatched by a passerby while falling a high speed chase would occur. I had never observed this behavior before but I am guessing it has something to do with practicing chasing down something to eat. They did appear to be enjoying the activity, and I know I was quite entertained watching them as well.
I couldn't believe it when I saw this dog come out of the water carrying this log. He didn't drop it either!
Garvey has very recently learned to swim, and is now super quick (Its those big webbed paws) and confident. Unfortunately she sometimes optimistically and disobediently swims after ducks and and other acquatic innocents.

My cat plays fetch with paper wads. D.C. was on his way out of the box to return the paper wad to my husband.
Women fetch water from the artesian well
The village was settled about 100 years ago. There are over 120 traditional wells that villagers have used to try to get water from over the years.
The PPAF funded artesian well has greatly improved the quality of life in the village. One of the challenges that the PPAF and the villagers faced was having to convince the government to construct an artesian well so close to the Indian border.
There are 553 households in the village and an equal mix of Hindus and Muslims who co- exist harmoniously.
By April 2007 the community will have a water managment plan. Amongst other things, this will involve the transporting of the water from the artesian well to other Hamlets.
Some of the challenges faced by the PPAF projects is the difficulty in bringing qualified people into remote areas like the Thar desert.

We went to Dog Beach in San Diego where dogs are allowed to run off-leash and socialize with other dogs and their owners. It is always great fun.
This pelican was playing with the stick you see in it's mouth. It looked like he was having a blast, lol.
