Description
My male dalmatian taking a refreshing dip in the ford (where the water crosses the tour road) after running nearly 5 miles alongside the bike (and then 5 on the way back too!).
Its tough doing nature patrol for any little critters that need exercise - nothing like running for your life from this spotted beast (who truly couldn't catch anything if his survival depended on it) - Rescue takes a well deserved break in the cool water.
Taken May 2005 with a Canon Rebel 2000 on 400 ISO
Comments are welcome, and please feel free to visit my gallery.
I particularly like the reflection, and just the exuberance in his expression - you can tell he's having a blast =)
