WAAAAAIT!!! 🍂It’s the last day of fall and need my “autumn” photo challenge posted! 🍁

I actually went throwback to the workshop last year with here in Maryland. This one is from our day with the disc/agility dogs. This is Valhalla leaping from the owner Lauren Simpson to snag that disc out of the air.

The challenge was autumn colors and mood, so coming home from the very green Costa Rican landscape, I felt the ferocity of this image I had been meaning to touch up. Do I win the challenge???

More Costa Rican dogs coming!

Wishing I was still in Costa Rica workshop but trying to stay in the Pura Vida mindset on these chilly Baltimore days.
This is Lady , Belgian Malinois, who like most Malinois, came ready to work. This was another dog that if your finger wasn’t on the camera trigger for a half a second, you(I 😳) missed the shot. But I got this one! Zoom in for drool and check out that sand get tossed as she rocketed from the ground to snap that frisbee from the sky!

“ENZO! ENZO! ENZO!” This is the face you get when you ask the owners to call the dog with excitement and let a whippet do what they do best, RUN! Whippet good!
More from workshop in Costa Rica with host .animalista. This is Enzo! Enzo! Enzo! .A+ for effort from the owner for getting Enzo excited to run. I joke with the group I can still hear her yelling his name. So glad my camera was able to keep of with the speed of this dog. 📸

What an amazing workshop, gorgeous beach locations, super dogs and their trainers, and amazing photographers from around the globe to share time and knowledge with to learn and grow from. Truly an amazing time.
The is whose locks exploded with every action. He jumped out of my camera when leaping over logs and flew down the beach whipping those dreads. Can’t wait to show you more!
