You would rather pat my head than read that silly old book, right?

Kendal
I bark, therefore I am.
Jaws
While it may look pretty fierce and serious it’s all in play. Achilles and Stella have played like this for over eight years and they have always sorted everything out.
Dogs at play
Stella instigated a play session with Achilles this afternoon. Its been quite some time since they played so uninhibitedly, while I had the camera nearby. It was deeply satisfying and pleasurable to see them play like this. I was shooting blind – not using the viewfinder or the LCD, simply snapping. This is only one of about two dozen photos.
Split
Itself unevenly split by faraway clouds, the rising sun unevenly splits the difference between two trees.
Sandwiched
Between the monochrome of the harvested soybean field and the varied blue-greys of the clouds, beautifully bright fall colour.
Stella’s Bentley glows
Most cattle dogs and many ACDx have a Bentley, a white forehead blaze. Stella’s extends to the nape of her neck. Sometimes in the cattle dog community, an owner will request a glowing Bentley or send a glowing Bentley for a dog in distress or one no longer with us. I find it a charming, lovely sentiment.
Focussed
Whatever grasped and tightly held Stella’s undivided attention, either it was not in my field of view or it was not apparent to my undiscerning eyes and ears.
Katydid
I don’t know what Katy did, but this living, moving emerald jewel insect was completely unperturbed by my presence.
Early morning
taken with the PlayBook
The soft light and delicate colours of early morning called to me.
