Dogs frolicking in the surf

After a couple of days of of rather tame beach scenes, e.g. tidepools and seashells, let's pick up the pace a little. Here are some dogs enjoying frolicking in the surf.

The personalities of dogs remind me a lot of children, and this is but one example. They play with such exuberance and enthusiasm, and they have no worries about what is happening back at the office, or what the upcoming work week will bring, or how their investments are doing and whether they have enough money saved for retirement, or the house payment, price of gas, or countless other challenges in life.

After thinking about the stressors of modern life, it is time to go jump in the surf or lounge on the beach and worry about the challenges of life in Tamarindo, such as how colorful will today's sunset be?

I will give a dedication of this dog photo to Jilly, one of most popular Daily Photo bloggers. She operates the Monte Carlo and Menton (France) Daily Photo sites, both of which are charming and at times dazzling, but she also operates Riviera Dogs, which shows delightful photos of dogs that she has a unique knack for photographing along her stretch of the Riviera.

This week we are showing photos of one of our favorite cities, and certainly the most unique city on earth, Venice, on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. It is a photographer's delight.

    You caught them in a lovely frolic! And, you caught the waves just right, too.

    Great photo. That reminds me of Isis, my son's dog. She died last September. She loved playing and swimming in the sea.
