Water Battles at zBonz Dog Park

I headed off with Indigo, my husband [someone has to carry the gear!] and my camera to check out zBonz – a new dog park in Fort Worth, off Camp Bowie Blvd.  Since it used to be a golf course, it’s a nice size and the major bonus is the pond on the large dog side.  Indigo loves water and so do a lot of the other dogs that go to the park.  There were quite a few dogs in the water, some hanging on the edges, others swimming…

These two were going head to head after the float.  You can certainly see that the German Short-haired Pointer was a little unsure with the Lab, but it certainly didn’t stop him from challenging the Lab for the float… 🙂 The fun part was capturing the best moments and then cropping and processing so the dogs really popped.  And staying far enough away from the edge of the pond so that my camera didn’t get nailed when the inevitable ‘shake’ happened.

At a dog park, you have lots of people and dogs tooling around and sometimes they add to the story and sometimes they’re just a distraction.  For these two images, I cropped them so there was nothing else in the image… I had fun with my processing in order to make the dogs pop.

In the image on the bottom, I intentionally blurred the edges so the dogs really were the only things in focus.

If your dog loves water – this dog park is not to be missed…
