A Kelpie takes a cooling dip in the pond after a hard day in the paddocks

---

This Kelpie is 6 months old, I took this during a very hot summer when the drought was on, the sheepdogs had been working hard in the paddocks and always had a treat of a dip in the fish pond to cool off (even though they were not supposed to). Their favourite past time is to watch the fish swim around with intense gazing eyes.
