Outdoor shot in bright sunlight, taken near the edge of a pond, which stretches off into the distance. The pond harbors several bright pink flamingos, visible near its most distant shore, while trees and coastal scrub line it to the left. A white dog with black patches on his ears and eyes is trotting towards the camera, coming out of the tall grass to the left and onto a sand trail that comes from the pond. His tongue is lolling out from the exertion and he is captured mostly in the air.

Nico: joy incarnate 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Outdoor action shot in bright sunlight, under a blue sky with puffy white clouds in it. The scene is a meadow of grass and coastal scrub, with a light brown dog cavorting through it at high speed. They are captured in the middle of the frame with both front paws in the air as they move at breakneck speed, their head turned towards the photographer with their mouth open and their tongue flapping in the wind. A pond can be seen behind them, bordered by some medium-sized trees, which also punctuate the meadow. The sheer joy of charging through an open space with your favorite person taking pictures.

Close shot of a dog from the chest up, at a 3/4 profile angle looking to the left. They are mostly rust-colored, with a white chest and stripe down their snout and are wearing a pink collar. Their mouth is open a little and you might say they are smiling, the energy is happy. It is sunny out and behind them trees and blue sky can be seen.

Wonderful crew on a walk 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A dirt/sand road through coastal scrub wilderness with six lovely dogs walking towards the bottom right of the frame. The chihuahua in the middle of the pack is clearly their leader. White sand contrasts with dense scrub, short trees and grass in all directions, under a slightly overcast sky.

Sunset playtime 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A scanning shot across a sand yard at sunset, the fading light interacting with the flash to make shadows pop out. Two dogs in the center of the shot, one black, the other a brown and black brindle, are in mid-move as they play, the shadows giving them an eerie kind of three-dimensional feeling. The sunset dominates the background, with glowing reds filtering through the bushes and a rainbow of colors reflects off of clouds in the blue sky.

#Puppies always have a lot of nerve 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Medium-close shot of dogs playing in a sand yard. Three dogs stand out in the foreground: a mostly black dog with white chest, neck, snout and legs, a rust colored dog with a white chest and a black puppy, much smaller than the other two. The puppy is standing oriented towards the right, their head turned towards away from the camera, towards the larger black and white dog, who has their face screwed up in a funny expression, looking directly down on the pup. The puppy is staring to rear up on their hind legs as if to take on their elder, who is starting to coil in response. The rust colored dog is standing mostly out of frame to the right, looking down onto the action as though they were the referee.

"You ain't that big!" #puppies 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Medium-close shot of two dogs playing, a coffee-colored adult and a black puppy a small fraction of their size. They are captured mid-move, the adult has just landed after jumping dramatically, basically on top of the pup; their body is facing the camera but their head is turned all the way to the left, while the pup, no taller than their leg is long, leans in to them, also facing the camera, face upturned towards the coffee-colored dog wearing an intense look. Other dogs in the background look unconcerned, going about their doggy business. They are all in a sand yard bordered by a hurricane fence, large trees growing just inside the fence at the back of the picture.

Shirley chilling out 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Medium-close shot of a brown dog with white markings on their chest and paws lying down in the sand facing the camera directly, oriented towards the camera. They are under a "pup tent" formed by two shipping palettes leaned against each other at the top, forming a long, narrow space that accentuates the feeling of looking through a tunnel. Their upper lip is stuck on a tooth, giving them an involuntary snarl as they stare directly into the camera, which is being held at dog level.

Wee Willy and old man Truman 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Medium-close shot of two dogs in a sand yard, with the camera held down at sand level. The light is mixed and dappled, mostly shade with bright spots of sun on the ground. In the background, the underside of a plastic, outdoor table on the left and a profusion of cacti growing in the sand to the right. In the foreground, two dogs: a spotty puppy with a comically large head sitting and facing the camera, and an older dog standing oriented towards the left, with their head turned back to look to the right.

Rocky encounters a daisy 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Close up of a youngish white dog in a sand yard pressed up against a metal gate. Some flowers are growing through the gate from the other side, and the dog has their nose pressed against one with their nose scrunched up dramatically. Their ears and head are all comically large and the daisy is small.

Reina Understands EVERYTHING 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Close outdoor shot of a white dog with black patches on their ears and eyes mugging for the camera, which is being held down near the ground and inclined upwards slightly. They are looking down directly into the lens with a turned-on expression on their face, their front right paw extended towards the photographer as they lean into the shot. The yard is sand with a large tree in the distance behind them.

Little Willie Leaps In 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Action shot of a puppy with an enormous head leaping off of a folding canvas chair and into the lens of the camera. Another dog is sitting just out of frame with only their face visible, facing to the right, as the pup leaps over and around them. The pup's ears are both up and flying in the air and the expression on his face is one of earnest expectation of a soft landing on the photographer: catch me, mom!

Jojo and Ruby play at dusk 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Two dogs face off at play in a sand yard. The closer dog is coffee-colored and has their back to the camera, their tail sticking straight out in exertion as they hunch their back for a leap forward. The other dog is prancing from left to right in the frame, their head turned towards the other dog and their mouth open. Their shaggy coat is many shades of deep red, but their paws are white, and they appear to be anticipating the attack of the other dog. A hurricane fence borders the yard behind them, and the sun is setting, adding a gradient of burnt orange in the sky to the color palette.

Loretta and her mom #puppies 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A close-up shot of a puppy reclining in a sand yard, oriented towards the camera, which the photographer is holding at ground level. The puppy is mostly white with light gray patches over their eyes and ears, and have their right front paw tucked under themselves as they stare into the lens. In the background, an adult dog looms, watching the pup. There are barriers made of shipping palettes and corrugated aluminum panels lining the area.

Our little chocolate Bunny 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Close shot with the camera held at ground level and inclined slightly up to catch a pretty young dog with chocolate Rottweiler markings, her mouth open, holding her head slightly to the right and looking coyly left at the photographer. The shot catches the full greenery of a large Neem tree in the background, with a barrier of sticks woven through hurricane fence and pale blue sky beyond.

Serious Ruby 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A reddish dog with white chest and paws, a shaggy coat and long tail sitting up and staring into the camera with narrowed eyes. They are outside in the corner of an enclosed space made with shipping palettes, the slats of which break the afternoon light into bands across her face and chest.

Happy muddy pups 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A white dog with rust spots on her ears, back and tail stands proudly, her coat wet from an excursion into a pond. A smaller, gray, shaggy dog is behind her, also wet and happy. Three other dogs are milling around.

Synchronized swimmers Gowron, Linda and Amber 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Medium-distance shot of three small dogs swimming in the shallows of the Gulf of MEXICO, just their heads above water. They appear to be executing a circle figure. The ocean is gray/green, the horizon is visible with a pale blue sky overhead.

Toys are for sharing #puppies 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
Close shot of two dogs, one rust colored dog standing oriented towards the left with their head turned towards the camera, and a puppy lying on the ground oriented towards the camera at a slight angle. They both have their front paws on or near a ball, which lies in the sand between them. They appear as though they have been snapped in mid-play by the photographer.

Two sisters, one chair 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A close-up shot of a folding canvas chair with a blanket on the seat and two young dogs in it; they look eerily similar, like echoes, both white with greyish/brownish patches over their eyes and ears and subtle spots all through their coats. The one on the left is sitting up, while the other one is lying down and occupying her half of the chair as much as she can. They are both looking directly at the photographer. The chair is outdoors, in a sand yard. Trees and greenery can be seen in the background.

Naps are always better with a friend 💕💸 🐾 #DogSky #AnimalShelter #RescueDogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsOfBluesky #photography #animals
A little brown dog lies left-to-right in the frame, partially on her back with her head pressed into the side of a mostly white dog lying at an angle to her. The brown dog's eyes are closed and she looks happy, napping while her companion watches over her. The white dog, who has black and tan patches over both ears and eyes, is looking into the camera. Brightness and shadow play over the area, covering the dogs in dappled light.

Close up of two pups lying head to head in a sand yard. They are lying up against a barrier made of long, straight sticks woven through green hurricane fence, their backs pressed up against it. One of them is holding their head up and licking their nose while looking at the camera, the other's head is on the sand with one eye directed towards the photographer.

Close shot of a small dog with Rottweiler markings on her head but a white chest and legs, seated in a sand yard and facing the camera in dappled light under a large tree. Behind her a blonde dog can be seen looking off to the left, and a couple other brown dogs are also milling around.
