Decided to bath molly today so took her to the beach first – to get really mucky. She loves the waves but her thick coat gets full of salt water and sticky sand …………………. whatamess!!

gd threw her ball from the superduper ball thrower, and molly ran and bounced and splashed through the waves while we walked along the beach.

Cheated today – took my 50mm lens and used it on autofocus and sports mode ……….. a rarity to use anything auto with my dslr. I would much rather use my lensbaby but wouldn’t be able to focus on our super speedy dog!!

The cloud cover kept the light very subdued and I thought my photos lacked character, so cheated again by using layers in photoshop – another rarity – but quite like the result.

Needless to say molly had a shampoo and blow-wave when we arrived home, then spent the afternoon looking beautiful ………… and sleeping in the sun.
