I love this man’s shirt … “I was normal until my first Chessie”. I think all pet owners can relate. I need a t-shirt that says, “I was normal until my first Siamese!” 🙂

This is English Springer Spaniel, “Duck” making his first jump into the pool at the Keystone Dock Dogs event at Steel Stacks in Bethlehem, PA several weeks ago. It took a lot of encouragement from the handler to convince Duck to take a leap into the water. The crowd was cheering him on, but on the first several attempts, time expired and he never got wet. The dogs have one minute of time between when they set foot on the dock until they are in motion. You can see the huge smile on the handler’s face as Duck finally decides that he’ll jump into the pool! Hooray Duck!! Fast forward a couple weeks to Codorus Blast and Duck jumped 13′ 11″ in the Big Air finals for Juniors at Lake Marburg. Duck is SO adorable!

If you love to photograph grunge … most especially rust and decrepitude … then Steel Stacks in Bethlehem, Pa. is the place for you! Steel Stacks is home to the iron furnaces of Bethlehem Steel – the now closed facility that employed thousands and manufactured iron for our nation’s buildings and bridges. The location is now a destination centered around the arts and last weekend an outdoor festival that included Keystone Dock Dogs. What a contrast to see the soft and furry dogs with a background of the blast furnaces!

I just finished downloading the last of my dock dog photos from the weekend. Gosh, there are LOTS – over 1500! Which to post?! I’ll pick the ones that grab my attention first, like this one. It’s all about the tennis ball!
