Photography Fail or the Best of a Bad Lot

 I took the dogs out in the hay field this afternoon for a retrieving session, with plans of getting some brilliant shots of them catching their toys. 

 Fail!

 I can only throw with my right hand, and can only take pictures with the same hand.  By the time I had thrown the toy and then attempted to find the dog through the camera, half the time they were on their way back to me.  I'll try again another day.  My fumbling attempts to get that camera in position quickly seems to have bumped and changed a few settings.  Oh well:(

They got lots of exercise, enough that Jake quit on his own and headed to the pool.  He looks like he is falling asleep on his feet.  He was laid in the pool, but I guess the water is too cold for extended soaking.  Luna laid in it too.  Time to dump it and let the rain fill it up again.
