il semble bien seul !

That is the way to live. Bounding without a care in the world.

lovely view
nice shot

Hapiness is so: the light through the shutters,a bird song,the first ray of sun on the ceiling of the room and the voice of Bob Dylan in the Radio...........( I'm) Like a Rollin'Stone.............................

I actually feel like trying all you said...LOL!! A fabulous capture Betty! I would love to just stroll on that empty beach with a little doggie panting away next to me....wonderful mood, tones, sense of scale and composition!

I always look forward to your posts and this one says it all. joy, expanse, what we all really want

This is beautiful! A happy shot :) I love the tones and the vastness... nobody except for the dog... (and you of course :)... The perfect mood. No better way to clear the senses.

"A tongue to hang" - lyrical. A great shot well seen and executed

is this really a cat? if yes i am really wondering how happily it is jumping around the water. anyway, it is a very joyful scene. imagine me that cat i would jump for sure.

Looks like a dog, very beautiful and well balanced colors. Wonderful !

I'm happy to see this scene.

An eye to hang like his tongue - super feeling of total freedom, ah i love this sensation : very nice bicolor palette !

A beautifully captured image...the tones and details are lovely

A joyous dog's life well described and well shot. I especially like the combination of warm sands and cool waters. Lovely tones !!

it's lovely and great . i like it very much .

Il est à la recherche de son maître ? Je te souhaite un agréable dimanche

I'm sure he's really enjoying the walk ! I would for sure ;) I like that feeling of freedom and immensity... se delightful ! Have a great sunday Bettina :)

An happiness again represented by a cute animal ... happy, jumping the little waves! Anyone who has pets at home will know of this delightful reality. A dog's best friend of man, gives a daily lesson in behavior. How to seize every moment of life, love ... that great lesson of the man's best friend! Thanks friends! An image that comforts the spirit! Best regards, Adela

Hello, Betina. Thanks for your comment during my holidays.
Good capture, I like very much the light and color, specially the sand. And the joy the photo communicates :)

Nice doggy.

nice shot happy dog an enthusiastic phtographer

Really nice shot. I agree. The tone of the sand and sea is very good. Good strong colours.

Lovely shot and so true. The sheer delight can be seen when dogs run around in the water:)

Just right! The words and the photo are wonderful companions to each other.

stunning simply georgous in every detail!!:)

Many quotes about freedom, but here's a picture of it: a wide open space in the morning and lots of room to run.

The dog is a long way away. That's necessary for the shot, though, and I like the distance.

I love dogs in the water! Great colours too

Nice simplicity. Lovely sand colour. I can hear the surf. Must be careful of the lolling tongue though or I will drool on the keyboard :)

Sure is a great way to start the day wether its sand in your paws or toes, love this shot and the transition of tones from the sand to waves and water

le bleu "glacier" de l'eau est une pure merveille !!:)

Great composition. I feel like a dog, running on the beach. Ah... to feel free...

Very nice shot!

gorgeous colors and framing i love this compo !

sheer magic, and a great story here, I Love the warm tones of the sand, looks like a very early morning shot, Bravo

simply excellent.
... freedom.

A scene of true joy!

Beautiful . A pure delight !

You are right...

I like the scale of this beach shot with the tiny animal that makes the beach and ocean feel huge (as they are). Nicely done.

Very nice!!!

Great landscape, Bettina

very nice capture :)

That sounds really great fun you're having......... and what does the dog do :0

:) superb shot.

nice moment full of freedom and happyness ...

wonderful...a bit like Reading...

Oh Bettina, this is lovely! We spent most of today talking about adopting a puppy so your photo is especially touching to me!

wonderfull capture and fanatastic framing and colors

Wonderful! It's a good lesson in being happy. The simplicity of it all - is just great! A perfect picture of the freedom of spirit.

Absolutely!!

Definitely a happy puppy. I like the 3 zones here!

My kind of happiness Bettina....even though I am not a dog! Nicely captured! ;-)

Really nice image. Makes me want to go to the beach. If I hadn't got off work just now all tired, I'd head straight for the shore (no ocean, just a lake... but good enough). This will be my substitute.

An early morning run in this place... what else the life would ask for.

Free beach, free air and free running! Wonderful soft light in the sky!

Nice happy dog playing on the beach.

It can't get much simpler nor happier than this.

Very nice capture! Looks like the place to be on a very hot day. It was 101 degrees here today.

super capture. nice soft lighting.
who is running on the beach ?

Oh Bettina, this is the most enchanting morning mood capture I've seen in a very long while! So beautiful, almost surreal... it's like a dream!:-) Impeccable composition, placement and interplay of tones... just wonderful!!!

superbe paysage, et jolie scène.

That is truly happiness, hands down. Happier is having a bowl of snausage afterward :)

What a peaceful beach; you're right! I like the light of your capture and the dog playing in the water.
Have a nice day.

ahh.. these creatures are the ones who really know how to be happy with life.. that is, to be contented with what little they've got. most of us humans never really learn that. very well seen :)

I like its movement in very simple composition. simple but strong. very nice.

A real escapism shot ! Can feel the power of f r e e e e d o m here !

i like it. So peaceful. A beautiful landscape

I'm speechless, you're on top, pure expressiveness. :D
