Freda, a Chesapeake hunting for bass by

Freda is a 1 1/2 year old female Chessy. In this photo, she is hunting for bass on the Flathead River in western Montana, (USA) a few miles south of Buffalo Bridge. I am not sure if you would call this a “point” but maybe…

    :) lovely! perfect angle.

  • Thank you. The angle is “as luck would have it.” I was in our drift boat. She looked so funny as she was stalking the fish. I couldn’t resist the shot.

    Oh, and there is nothing better than to capture these wonderful creatures ! Congrats on being featured Merle, well done !!!

  • Thank you. I appreciate your encouragement and comments so much. Did you see the artist that is featured in Cats and Dogs? The lighting she is able to capture in her photos is like magic. I want to learn to do that.
