Today my father invited me to go down to the Chemung River with him and his dog Sparky and hang out. I always enjoy a chance to hang out with my dad. Things only get better when you add the opportunity to be out in nature and to be around a dog.

Sparky really loves the water. He was pretty eager to be out in the water the whole time. He went right out and wadded through water and swam around the whole time we were down at the river.

I just sat back and watched him have fun. He is such a fun dog. Photographing him is a joy.
