An author knows his landscape best; he can stand around, smell the wind, get a feel for his place.

Our border collies love the wind. 

It carries mystery, excitement. 

They come alive...

but sometimes they become B-A-D dogs.

Point Isabel, Richmond was a busy place with hundreds of dogs and their people. 

Josey called it hell. 

She screamed the entire afternoon. 

Can we go home now?

Wind swept girl

Remember she likes quiet and control.  

She hardly knew what to do with herself except pose for photos.

Kiva Beach, South Lake Tahoe was empty on this particular day. 

Lucas & Josey were playing Frisbee.

Hey what is that over there?

Breezy boy

Lucas went ape-shit when out of nowhere two folks in a canoe paddled up to the shore.
Imagine the JAWS theme song in the background.
It didn't end well.
They paddled away.
Lucas went on down-stay the rest of the day.
