Very cool how you’ve caught this watery doggy moment at just the point where the joyousness has become a “composition” too — the diagonal sweep of the wave, the different texture of the two “types” of water on either side. But above all the wonderful roly-poly seal-like exuberance of the dog. Lovely!
Ah, a technical question. And I’m not good with dog breeds. I’d tend to file this in the Big Black Wet Dog category. How helpful is that out of ten? (;
Oh I like that idea, Allison. We’ll call it The Arrival. (:
Though, really, what s/he’d been doing was merely romping about. I think a stick was involved at one point. There so often is…
Saw this puppy at the beach yesterday. It was so hot and s/he was so happy. Wanted to bottle, or at least capture, some of that sopping wet joie de vivre!
Haha! looks like the dog loves the waves ;-)
Thanks for wafting by…What? :-)
Did you say something??? (;

You got all my favourite bits! The joy, the wave, the two-tone water and, especially, the roly-poly!
What a happy dog! Is he a Saint Bernard? I’ve always wanted one of those.

Has she just swum across the lake and come ashore? I love the rolling feeling of both dog and waves and the sense of arrival of both.

Looks like a Berner, Carin (Bernese Mountain Dog). Love that energy and the playful spirit, both of which you captured so beautifully.

Perfect picture, colours, texture for a hot and sticky day.
I’m so glad it refreshes. That was its intention.
Such a wet and happy photo!
