So did you have a camera and any dry clothes after shooting this?
Posted 25 months ago. ( permalink )

Thanks everyone for all your kind comments! I'm glad to see people enjoy his antics as much as we do.

I was about thigh-deep in the river.

The camera was fine, a little splashed but I've developed a "turn & cover" strategy for keeping dog-splashes off it. And he's actually light enough (or I'm heavy enough) that he doesn't knock me over most of the time.

I'll probably be posting more Chaco shots this week. It's about a year this month since we got him, and so I think he deserves even more attention than he usually gets.

If thats possible. :)

Thanks. He is a bag of fun, all the time! Lucky for us he knows how to behave himself though when he needs to.

Hehe. Walking on water indeed. Or flying over it. There's not much he likes more than a swim!

I love your photo and I was hoping you might be interested in submitting it to our photo contest helping to win protection for waterways like this one.

I work for an environmental non profit in Santa Fe, NM (www.wildearthguardians.org) and as part of our effort to protect New Mexico's cleanest waters, we've partnered with REI to sponsor a photo contest.

We're collecting photos like this one, with provocative captions and testimonials and submitting them to the formal hearings where the fate of New Mexico's cleanest waters will be decided this January. It's important that voices beyond special interests get heard concerning decisions made on our public lands and we're trying to showcase how diverse people appreciate these resources in diverse ways. This is one creative and visually compelling way to do that!

So, if you wouldn't mind taking a little action and saving the world, it would be great if you would submit this photo (and any others you might have of NM's wild places and clean water!) to www.watershedguardians.org/. Not only are you helping to protect the environment, you also have the chance to win huge prizes from REI (like full camping outfitting). My contact info is on the web page if you have any other questions.

Thanks, in advance, for all that you do in making this world a better place.

Cheers,
Rebecca

p.s. there's no limit to how many photos you can submit :)
