Into the wild

Ireland loves playing in the water, especially on a hot day! Sometimes, she just likes to get her feet wet and splash around a little bit, but today she was going all the way: jumping in the water head first,using the riverbank as a diveboard, and all this while on a leash. This maneuver is also known as " suicide style". After she comes back up for a breather, she shoots herself up the banks so fast, you think her hind legs are springs...

While attempting to capture this event on camera, I missed the best shot, which is her diving into the river. She's so fast though, and my camera is so small, that I have trouble tracking her. It also didn't help that B. was blocking the view, while trying to keep up with Ireland. Anyways, I think you'll get the idea.
