This boy is such an incredible joy. I am so happy to have a fellow beach bum in the family at last! We had such a wonderful time. It was a struggle for me to narrow down the images form last night. These are the shots left after culling several times. It was a wonderful evening!

My first few years in Michigan I was a total beach bum. It was nearly a daily ritual, Once I met my husband, a true hater of sand, we found other sand free hobbies to occupy our days. I ws hoping that our youngest Spinone, Tessie, would find joy in swimming and that I could start beaching again. However, she prefers hanging out on the kayak rather than in the water. She never really took to swimming.

Leo, TOTALLY opposite! He LOVES swimming! I know have a wonderful, gorgeous boy to hang out at the beach with.

Being the water lover I am I couldn’t help, but take advantage of having a great subject in the water. Lake Michigan and a beautiful pup who could ask for more!
