Waiting For Godot

Hehe… he lives in it.

This looks like my baby Kuba, She is a complete water hound lol, actually I should say water retriever lol

Oh yeah they want to play in the water…. I swear sometimes you can read their expressions and it is saying “come on just throw the stick, throw the stick” lol Animals are great lol

I don’t think I could have said it any better. This is so true. Animals are trusting, loving, and so wanting to be loved. We are very lucky to experience having them in our lives. Thank you for yacking at me.

Thank you :)

Beautiful capture Mark.

Good one Mark, theres that whimsy again !

She looks as if she has been siting there for quiet a while – the water around her is realatively still. This is what makes this photo/artwork look surreal to me. Love it

Mark,
You captured the beauty and elegance of this stunning dog. The serenity and peace in the background sets the mood for this amazing image. It evokes feelings of my devotion and respect for these beautiful souls. I live in Los Angeles and when I lived in Malibu, I would body surf with my Irish and English Setters. At first glance, I thought this was an amazing portrait of an Irish Setter. There is a spiritual feeling in your touching photograph viewing this sentient animal who certainly is in his element. i posted two images on RB of my Irish Setter Jesse after I rescued her from a pet store after she was abused in a puppy mill starving and frightened of people. Her eyes tell the story after many months of earning the trust of this frightened and very sensitive spirit. Your image and mood of your photo reminds me of her, especially since she would sit for hours on the beach looking at the sea in what appeared to be a meditative state. She loved to retrieve, but also needed quiet time to appreciate the beautiful environment and sounds of the crashing waves. This strikes a deep chord on many levels about how special our canine friends are who commit their lives devoted to our welfare. Looking at this image, it is unbearable to think of how our species has mistreated and abused animals without a second thought about how cruelty and neglect destroys their spirit before millions are euthanized in kill shelters. As Andy Rooney said, “the average dog is nicer than the average person.” “To err human, to forgive canine.” I look forward to viewing more of your portfolio. I am the host of the group on RB, the healing journey and viewing your lovely photo is a therapeutic experience.

Classic!
Is this Great South Bay?

excellent!!

Very beautiful image Mark!

Loch Ness Monster ….......eat your heart out…........ superb image – magic really.

absolutely fantastic work…..I’m glad i found your stuff…..

This is such a great shot. It conveys so much. On one hand it is cute and funny, and then kind of sad. Like you mentioned, all dogs want is someone to throw the ball for them, and yet most of us are too ‘busy’ to do something this simple that would make them so happy. Keep up the great work.

thisis a wonderful image Mark and you have evoked such wonderful responses. Well done

Aww, poor puppy, poor water dog!!!!

lovely colours and composition – great dog! I love dogs!

Super dog! (I love big black dogs!!) Lovely image.

Brilliant. I have a stick. I’m on my way.

Beautiful! Reminds me of Sore Thumb, Oak Beach, near where I lived.
