Hounds At Leisure

 Yesterday I mentioned that I'd be in Central Park in the Glebe neighbourhood today. This view looks west one morning earlier in the month. Off in the distance at right, dog walkers are coming.


This guy had descended into the park with his human, and was engaged in rolling around in the snow. I started using my zoom lens.


And then he noticed company coming.


A couple of days later, I was passing by at dusk and noticed more people walking their dogs. When you use a zoom feature, you have to be quick, because they're moving out of frame when they're playing.


At the far end of the park, multiple people were gathered with their dogs in the dying light of day.


This one came down into the park with his human.


One last shot of him.

  9. It looks like some well behaved dogs and some humans who care for the animal and of other humans.

  18. I know people love their small dogs, but the large dogs you captured here are like humans - intelligent, skilled, trustworthy and alert. I would love one or two of them.

    1. I have a fondness for dogs. Overridden by a love of cats.
