Nestward bound, this scene will be repeated many times by the Ospreys in the next couple of months...
Wandelaars trotseren de zandstorm op het Zuiderstrand van Den Haag; de hond is kennelijk afgeleid door de fotograaf :-)
Walkers facing the elements during a sand storm on The Hague's south beach; the dog is apparently distracted by the photographer :-)
I was thrilled to see the tigers in the water. I wish I had more time to hang and wait for the perfect composition with these guys, but the kiddos wanted to move along.
DJ playing fetch all by himself. He would throw that ball up in the air, retrieve it, run around the yard... then start the whole process all over again. Made my job a lot easier. ;)
Raining for days here, leaving me uninspired to go out and shoot. Hope you don't mind another shot of DJ.

Barney isn't obsessive about fetching toys like many pet border collies are. He grew up believing that teenagers were his toys - to be herded, nipped and chased. Teenagers make for much more interesting, interactive targets than a ball does! Even squeaky balls don't squeak quite as enticingly as a teenage boy with a nipped nose... nor does it change direction so well, or do anything particularly surprising. I have managed to teach him the idea of playing with proper dog toys & certainly when we're at home, he really enjoys playing fetch, often asking me to play with him and getting quite intense about it - at least for short periods of time...
When we're outside though, Barney is usually busy exploring.The fields and hills where we walk are full of interesting things to investigate... just this week, we spotted our first grass snake near this field (well, it was the first time I've seen one - I suspect the dog has been aware of their presence for years!). When we play together, Barney generally prefers to improvise herding games, or I'll just find a pebble or something similar to throw. If I ever do bring a toy like a ball, I'm usually disappointed... He's often disinterested, or he'll want to chase it but then get distracted and/or bored and drop it in long grass somewhere.
However, I found a tennis ball under my bed today (I find them all over the place) and on a whim popped it in my bag before we set off for an afternoon outing to nearby Ox Hill. To my surprise, Barney decided he was in the mood to play fetch towards the end of the walk. It was quite a slow, gentle game - making sure he didn't hurt his hips by twisting/jumping etc but nevertheless, Barney actually brought the ball back to me... multiple times! I rather suspect he was partly playing along to humour me "Oh, you want to play with the ball do you? Go on then, as it's you - funny old human, I suppose I can do that for a while!" but he did seem to be enjoying himself too, bouncing about in the buttercups, squeaking the ball :)

Mr. Riley positively glowing in the sun.
While I do miss the (dying) trees we had removed, it is much easier to take pictures of the boys in sunshine.
