This is the new dog, a 2 year-old English Springer Spaniel.
There is a Springer Shangri-La you can visit where English Springer Spaniels romp and play in great open fields like scaled down Appaloosa’s. I am reminded of the time I had a 300-gallon aquarium teeming with tropical fish. When you’d put your hand over the tank to feed them, they’d gather as one to gobble up the flaky food.
Two years have gone by and I was thinking today how great it would be to have a dog again, one too large to put in a basket.
Great day for a ride with a basket-mounted dog. Two bicyclists rode past each with dog in basket – I shot, but the camera was asleep, and in the moment’s lag, they’d passed, caught in blur…about the third or fourth photo down the page. I didn’t chase them down.
I stopped to zoom in on a butterfly drinking the nectar of a flowering horse chestnut tree (warning, their nuts are not edible), when the last photo rode by.
