A couple walking playing play with their collie dog in the early morning sunlight on Whitburn beach.
I trimmed the hair on her face a bit. She is cute all shaggy, but I like to trim her up in places to keep her comfortable.
Piglets do make me laugh. They play just like dogs. This little one found a stick and kept throwing it up in the air, grabbing it and then running along with it in its mouth. The other one was trying to join in the fun but the stick was not being given up to anyone else
My entry for the August 2020 design challenge (Summertime). To me, summertime is about fun and relaxation--and what better way than to play with a pet?
This model is designed and folded by me from one uncut square of foil paper.
Whether I’ll ever make a final version remains to be seen.
I have been a bit shy in the past taking pictures of strangers, however; down the beach recently I decided to give it a go. I used my new 70-200 f/4L lens to get close enough. I love the detail it gives including the spray from the ball the man is throwing.
I do need to buy a monopod though, any recommendations?
ok, he can't fech but he's so cute playing with the ball, even with balls bigger than him! yesterday Lassie complained and acted like biting him to steal him the ball!
As you *may* have noticed, Flynn loves toys & playing fetch... although our games are often rather slow. Flynn has the habit of taking quite a while to actually drop & leave the ball for me to throw again, once he's got it! You can see how conflicted he is: he really wants to me to throw it for him to chase but also, he wants to keep a hold of it. I can end up waiting around for a couple of minutes while Flynn repeatedly drops the ball, scoots away from it but then changes his mind at the last moment & races in to pounce on it once more.
Flynn can also be very particular about *where* the ball should be left for me to pick up & often changes its position several times, so it's in exactly the right place, before allowing me to get it. I haven't a clue how he makes the decision about precisely which spot is best (each clump of grass looks the same to me) but the place he chooses does regularly seem to be at quite a distance from me. Flynn either thinks I have magic, extendible arms or, he's perhaps hinting that I need to walk about more! Anyway, the last few months, I've been teaching him the words "closer" & "drop". I think Flynn is starting to work out that the *best* way to play a game of fetch is the traditional way: actually bringing the toy right back to my feet & giving it up quickly, so we can do it all again!
Our yard is small, but the alley between us & our neighbour is quite long. It's a good run to use for a game of fetch.
I took pictures of dogs at the beach this weekend. They all seem to enjoy it there. This one was nonstop fetching and swimming.
