The owner was near by and there was no cat around :)

Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

Ne me dis pas que c'est sur la même plage que les chats de ces derniers jours ?
Belle lumière sur sa tête…

You stopped his motion very well, Oliver, and I love the light. I hope he was able to cool off in the shallow water!

He looks a happy dog, just look at his wagging tail. Beautiful light and reflections in this shot Olivier.

Aww, that's a nice doggy, and he's not afraid of water. Perhaps a wider view to see the water where he just played in. A happy shot nonetheless!

Peu de gens sur cette plage... mais alors que d'animaux, à croire qu'elle leur est réservée !! Jolie lumière.

We've had pets since we were married. Two of them loved the beach. They'd wait on a wave to come in and bite it:-) Gorgeous dog and a wonderful memory you've stirred with this image.
