Red likes nothing more than a run around with his tennis ball although it's often stolen by the smaller dogs but he's a kindly soul and waits patiently until they get fed up and then pinches it back.
A couple walking playing play with their collie dog in the early morning sunlight on Whitburn beach.
Grant awaits the next throw after refusing a drink of water. ;)
This is in fact from a month ago, but a) it's cute so here you go, and b) things are so much greener now! Unfortunately, Grant did not want to cooperate with picture taking on the few non-rainy days we had to take another picture here for comparison, so you must trust me and wait until maybe next week. That's just how life goes sometimes, isn't it?
Have a wonderful weekend, all!
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.

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!
In nautical terms, Fetch is the distance traveled by wind or waves across open water. Here are two kayakers making their way across rough open water. The lee of this island in the St. Lawrence offers some protection, but as they paddle away the waters progressively get rougher. Sometimes it's safer to stay on the Island and wait it out rather than venture on the turbulent river.

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!
Woody, already swimming in anticipation for the stick to be thrown. The splash of the stick can be seen as it hits the water. Taken at Craighall Dam, Neilston, East Renfrewshire, Scotland
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?
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.
