My camera bag is always something that is in the boat during any time I get to go out. Over the years I have been enjoyed taking pictures of all the ordinary things that go on, especially those that end up telling a story that goes beyond a "tailgate shot." (....although I'm guilty of having taken my share of those
). Scooter is five now, and she's been the subject of a lot of the pictures I've taken since her first season afield. We've owned a lot of Labs, but I haven't had another that was so intent on scanning the sky for birds the whole time we are out ( I always trace this back to a fortunate first-time out when she was just 8 months old. The birds were plentiful, worked & decoyed perfectly, and the impression that 'good things come from the sky' must have been indelibly stamped in her mind).
When looking through the pictures I took Tuesday morning, this struck me one that captures that intensity. Lighting was perfect and just one of those shots that I'll look back on and smile about when I get too dang old to do this anymore.
