Dogs Playing in Yuigahama Beach – Kamakura

Posted in Animals, Nature, Places by tokyobling on April 6, 2012

On my visit to Kamakura City and Yuigahama beach in Kanagawa prefecture south west of Tokyo I saw these two dogs playing in the ocean, trying to catch a tea bottle thrown by their owners! The smaller one didn’t stand a chance in the waves but the bigger dog bravely swam out into the ocean again and again! I think it is the closest I will ever come to seeing a dog surf! When it gets warmer maybe I will even jump in myself!

      Yes! The little one waiting for his, hmm, “taller” friend, and then falling in at his/her side.

      Good buddies, those those two.

      Would be a great sequence over at Cute Overload.

    Oh my goodness brave swimming buddy! He’s a lot braver than my dog. Or ME!

    So adorable. If that was my dog, he’d just turn around and look at me like ” Hey, can you go get that bottle out of the water for me?”

      Sounds like most dog I have ever kept too… (^-^;)

    I recognize the skill of the artist, but just out of curiosity can you tell me what lense camera combination you are using here?

    • tokyobling said, on April 8, 2012 at 4:49 am

      Sir, let me just start by saying that I am a big fan of your work! Been following your avant-garde art for a year now and always looking forward to the next release! It’s an honor to have to have you visit my blog! Thank you for the kind comment, the camera is a Nikon D3s and the lens for this series is a Sigma 50-500mm tele zoom (it’s not the kind of combination you can bring to a beach in summer unless you want to get arrested but it’s perfect for a winter day’s out).
