Holly being chased by puppy Sage early in the morning. Sort of wish I had gotten all of Sage in the shot, but then again I kind of like her coming into the picture after Holly this way. Notice Holly only has one foot touching the ground .. these guys FLY when they get going!

Dogs having fun is a natural for this type of competition and this captures the open spirit and nature of pure joy of a dog's life. They ask so little and give so much that it's a pleasure to see an author capture them in thier natural fun loving state. A beautiful image and a complete technical and artistic success. Well done.
