Dawn Patrol by

Oshie, a rescue dog, checks out the beach during a beautiful sunrise on the beach in Port Orford, Oregon. Oshie is a shepherd mix who loves to run on the beach… and roll in unidentifiable dead things that she finds. She somehow became unwanted by her former owner when she was only about a year old. Yet she is such a wonderful dog!

Nikon D200 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom lens at 18mm. 1/60th, f/4.0, ISO250

    Hi Oshie babe!!! ewwww to the dead things, but yeah to the beauty he adds to this photo Randy. This is a most gorgeous scene, one that I envy and can’t have here where I live, so I will look at yours. I give this about a day till it’s featured.

  • Yea, the dead things make me glad I can throw her in the back of the pick-up! Thanks for the motivating comment!

    Beautiful image, the dog gives it life.

  • Thanks Richard! I sure agree that she gives the image life… plus focus and special meaning? What feels more enlightening than watching a dog run free on a deserted beach?

    This is a fantastic photo, Randall. Like the silhouettes and the contrast of the black and the beautiful color in sky and water. Also the dog really sets the photo off and makes it an extra special scene. Yes, having two dogs, I know all about how much dogs love to roll in all kinds of yukky things!!! (-:

  • Hahaha. And yukky is sometimes too mild a term :-) Thanks so much for your helpful and motivating comment.
