Wanderings: Golden Gate

I expected I would encounter lots of fog. I also expected it would be windy and cold. What I did not expect, on my trip out to the GGB, was to encounter some of the happiest dogs I have ever seen in my life.

I never made it to the bridge. Instead, I decided to kick back on the beach, listen to some good music on my iPhone, and watch these dogs have the time of their lives.

But I wasn't alone. As soon as I stretched out in the sand, this little fella came over to snuggle with me.


I think he just wanted a warm body that would block the wind. But I'm going to pretend it was true love.

So here are some shots of the happy dogs. If dogs could smile, they would definitely be smiling right about now.





Then this guy came over to say hello.

But not before performing one of those dreaded post-swim body shakes which resulted in salt water and mud all over me and my camera lens. Needless to say, there were no more pics of happy dogs after that encounter.
