People with dogs are obviously the best.

So it makes me happy that so many of my family members have dogs.

It is nice to go visit family. Even better if you can visit and play with a dog you don’t see often.

I went and visited my cousin down in Maryland. While I was there we took her dog, Butters, to the dog park for some play time.

I love photographing dogs at play. One added aspect of this photo I like is the shutter speed was at just the right speed to allow for just a bit of motion blur in the feet as Butters runs.

Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8. Focal length 116mm. ISO 500. 1/800 sec. f/2.8.
