A Summer Morning at the Dog Park

An overcast August morning with Mabel chasing both balls and Wanda settling into the cool grass.

2:28

The eastern end of the neighborhood dog park is a large field, especially from the perspective of a tennis ball disappearing into long grass. Mabel runs hard, loses track of one ball, finds another, and remains reluctant to return either one.

Wanda offers the counterpoint: lying in the cool grass, largely undisturbed by dirt or insects. Together they make an ordinary August morning worth keeping.
