Playing Fetch

This is one of the photos I submitted for the photography contest.  It's not one of my best photos, in fact, it's one of the earliest I took with my camera, so I was definitely not paying proper attention to aperture or shutter speed.  It's actually kind of amazing that it even turned out.  I was shooting in manual (dumb choice for a beginner and for trying to shoot an action-y shot).  This woman had her two extremely well-behaved dogs playing fetch around this little bit of stream. 

This photo feels very summery to me.  Doesn't it make you just want to go frolic around at the beach?
