Or maybe GRACE
Duncan, Foske's favorite Chesapeake Bay Retriever, has both in
abundance ánd raw power ánd agility ánd speed.
Today was a good day for ocean-dancing :-) The music was performed by
The Dutch Ocean Orchestra playing my favorite theme from 'Gull Lake'
by Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

A very virile looking male for Ms Foske...
Re the ice water.. Ooooh I can feel things shrink... but if it makes things feel better eventually... Go for it mon ami..
The "walk on" variety of thyme is great, we dont have it in our garden but I've seen it and it is great.

Just superb timing and form. I love the rough wet coat. But Duncan does not fly like Foske, eh?

GREAT one!
Pierpol (73 months ago | reply)
if he goes on revolving
he'll catch his tail
he'll sink in nails
he'll perforate the earth
and you'll get another little... chinese dog
So, stop him !

He's so amazingly graceful and yet powerful in this. Beautiful capture.

I thought I would never comment on another animal shot. How many dogs cats, goldfish... shots can one stand! ... I was wrong!!
This is a great photo! You have beautifully caught Duncan's movement and grace.

Jazus, he can even make boring dog shot's look interesting. In awe again, bah.

Yeats had it:
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?
Dogs are so totally themselves, so completely in the moment, they have true Buddha-nature.
