On Waiheke Island, New Zealand I had the privilege of walking this beautiful fella named 'Bilbo'. I was blown away by the sunset and scenery from the hill we walked up but Bilbo had eyes only for the ball in my hand. He made a nice subject to Photograph on this stunning evening.
As always thanks for your comments and Faves.
The water still a little cold for most but not for this Chocolate Labrador who was in and out at Sale Water Park having wonderful fun.

He loved the water and loved to play fetch. 😄
Taken at Fisheating Creek, Palmdale FL.
Flynn's not supposed to be doing lots of skidding & sliding about playing fast, intense games of fetch any more but he loves his ball & he is only 5yrs old... I want him to still have fun! We've compromised & he's allowed some short, *gentle*sessions of catch, on flat ground. He doesn't jump high for toys anyway, as you can see from this shot, so it's really just a case of throwing accurately - so he can catch it, without doing the twisting/turning which are the worst movements for arthritic hips.
Ha, for some reason, taking this shot reminded me of being in school, doing PE lessons. I was pretty appalling at sports... I like walking & have always loved being outdoors but I just could not see the point in running circles around a track, or jumping over stuff! I also happened to be the only left-handed person in my entire class, so whenever we were taught throwing techniques, I had to stand at one end of the line, watch the teacher demonstrate & then reverse everything they did, which got confusing (while also trying not to accidentally hit anyone). The collies have been much more effective tutors in the fine art of *throwing* things than all those PE lessons... I'm much more confident & accurate these days. I can even throw reasonably well while holding a camera & taking photos with the other hand ;-) An unexpected benefit to dog ownership!

Nothing like throwing Teddy and playing "fetch" in some leaves and bokeh ;)
Though he does not like mom man-handling his Teddy :))
