Dog Day Afternoon (Wollaston Beach, Quincy, MA)

Date Visited: April 21, 2016

The beach, dogs and summer-like weather.  Who could ask for more?  Not me.  Usually, I do most of my photography and trips during the weekend.  But, with unusually high temperatures for this time of the year (60’s and low 70’s) and later sunsets, I decided to head to the local beach in the hopes of photographing some cute dogs.  I wasn’t disappointed.  There are so many distractions at the beach, especially for our furry friends.  But, they all posed so well and made my job easy.

I met Tooko, 4 years old, in the parking lot.  Tooko was a barker, but a friendly barker.  His bark was much worse than his bite (he really doesn’t bite).  But, he sure does likes to play.  We played for a while and I continued on the way to the beach.

Pedro is a 3 year old boxer.  Loved his markings.

Chuckles (on the left), that is the name of the dog not the man – at least I hope it is, is am 11 year old Chihuahua.  Buddy is a 7 year old Cocker Spaniel.  They were a little camera shy but I still thought they were cute dogs.

Marley is an 8 year old Beagle.  Her guardians also think she might have some fox hound in her.  I have always been a sucker for Beagles!  So, I had to get her photo.

Penny (short for Penelope) is an 8 month Corgi and Australian Sheepdog.  As if on command, Penny lied down on the sand and struck a pose.  Her markings were very striking.  You go, Penny!

Kayser is a 4 year old German Shepherd and a Massachusetts native. The color of his coat and his sharp features caught my eye.  He clocks in at 110 lbs.

Annie is a 3 year old Shepherd Husky.  Her sibling is Oakley.  Get it…Annie Oakley.  Annie is from Tennessee.  She’s the only ten I see in the photo!  Love the one ear up and one ear down pose and she looked very pretty against the rising sunset.

Tiger is 3 years old who loves his treats!
