Dozer the Dog

I had a shot of this fellow a couple of weeks ago, looking out to sea, as is his habit.  Here is another from yesterday, this time in focus and on a sunny day.  Last time was so windy that a good many of that day's photo were out of focus due to the wind's strength.

Strong wind can blow pixels out of shape, Mary... [grin]

Once again, this dog makes a very fine subject!
Mary MacADNski: Strong wind can blow your hands and shake the camera. That extreme storm caused tidal surges all over the island for two days in a row.

Mary MacADNski: That is so romantic, Vintage. Chris thought maybe he was a mariner in a former life.

Maybe in a previous life he was a mariner Mary! A nice pose btw
Mary MacADNski: That could be it, Chris. It is a mystery to me.
He looks a lovely friendly dog.Something has got his attention.
Mary MacADNski: He runs and gallops then suddenly stops and looks out to sea. His owner says he has always done this.

I wonder what he is thinking. He looks like he is waiting eagerly for somebody.
Ingrid
Mary MacADNski: I do too. I asked his owner. She says he has always done this and seems to be smelling the wind.
Superb capture Mary. He sure is a great poser!
Mary MacADNski: It's not posing actually. He runs and gallops then suddenly stops and looks out to sea.
I can hear someone saying.."STAY"
Lovely shot Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Not at all. He runs and gallops then suddenly stops and looks out to sea. It is uncanny.
Good shot. I like the fact that you've left lots of space around the dog.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Odd. It is a beautiful beach so easy to show it off.
Pure and 'live' shot!
Mary MacADNski: So it is. Thanks, Reflecteur.
Lovely, Mary! He looks like he is waiting so patiently. I wish my lab would do that!
Mary MacADNski: He's nine years old now so not a pup by any means. he's always been a quiet, well behaved dog.

I remember the shot, Mary. I hope he doesn't mind his name (I accept this is is extremely unlikely in any case!) but it does not sound all that macho really for such a fine looking animal.

I have trouble using my little point and shoot in the wind. There is no optical viewfinder so you have to hold it away from the body to see the screen thus losing some stability.
Mary MacADNski: The name Dozer is quite macho as it comes from heavy machinery not sleeping. I can use one or the other, the optical viewfinder or the screen but this major windstorm made it hard to even stand straight.
Dozer looks very regal in this shot, Mary. Beautiful dog.

Can't help but notice that camper hiding in the trees. Nice touch.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Beverly. This dog has a beautiful soul and I think it shows.
He looks likes he longs to sail off into the distance. Lovely shot.

This is a great version of a song I have always liked.
Mary MacADNski: I love that song too. Roseanne Cash has it on her new album but it's too country sounding for my taste.
It is a martial posture, seems to be waiting for him rewarded with a medal of honor.
Mary MacADNski: I have so many shots of him doing this pose. It does make me wonder.

Tengo tantas fotos de él haciendo esta pose. Se me hace extrañar.
Fne looking dog Mary, they are usually so friendly this breed.
Mary MacADNski: He's a lovely dog and a great companion for my friend.
Lovely dog shot Mary,he looks full of character
Regards Jim
Mary MacADNski: He's a quiet dog but a very good companion.
