It's Not Gold... but it's Golden! [PhotoChain Challenge - 37th Edition]

in Photography Lovers5 years ago (edited)

Good night, friends!

This is my entry for the PhotoChain Challenge - 37th Edition hosted by @davidesimoncini. The keywords for this week are Gold and Trees, which were chosen by the previous winners of the challenge: @qwerrie and @gems.and.cookies.

My personal word for this week is: Backyard!

Well, I went through my entire photo collection and I failed to find any photo with both trees and gold in it... so I guess I'll have to cheat a little bit. Hence... the title of this post: It's not Gold... but it's Golden! - A Golden Retriever, to be more precise! 🤭

I saw this little guy sneaking over the wall of his garden and he looked ready to pose, so I took the change for a small photo shoot with him! The model was very cooperative and allowed me to take some great shots! 🤗

He kept barking a bit, complaining that his owners left him outside on a hot summer day... and he wanted to go inside to cool down for a little. He said his masters prefer to keep him outside, to scare strangers away. Well, he wasn't that scary to me. Just a bit noisy.

Here he is again, making a pose fit for a king!

After a few shots, he got distracted by some lady passing by beneath me with a lot of food on her grocery bags... and the photo session came to an end.

He was just not in the mood for photos anymore! He wanted food and I had none with me! 😜

He walked away and glanced back... telling me through his telepathic skills:

  • "If you ain't got a payment for me, why should I keep working for you? I am a dog model and I wish to be paid!"

Well, that's it... no more photos. The model went on strike and didn't want to work any longer, even though I explained to him that I was just an amateur photographer and I wasn't being paid as well! 😁

Yeah, he sure was cute! Thanks for stopping by!

you are most welcome my friend :)

He's cute, I like goldens 😊

They are definitely better than those darned ratdogs from the neighbour downstairs. They sound like squeaking rubber ducks. 😖

Lol, that can't be pleasant.

Haha, he was even looking at you immensely before he left the scene.
Nice shots buddy👍

Yeah, he was pretty curious... Thanks for stopping by! 🤗

Yeah!
You are welcome friend.

Cheater! 😂 Good job.
Beautiful dogs those golden retrievers by the way.
If a gold retriever existed I would have bought one 😉

Better not... then you couldn't take it outside because someone would steal it! 😂
Thanks for stopping by!

Golden retriever is a beauty, golden flowers in the garden rewarding to see. Nice pose from furry friend and yes thank goodness not all is gold that glitters.

!BEER

Yeah, a dog made of gold would be a nightmare to walk around. Can you imagine trying to drag all that weight around. He'd be the one dragging you! 😂


Hey @trincowski, here is a little bit of BEER from @joanstewart for you. Enjoy it!

Quick, someone give him a doggy treat so Trincowski could take some photos! I wonder if Golden Retrievers are any good at retrieving gold. This has been a question that's been spiralling in my head for a while now, and I've yet to find an answer.

I doubt it. I think they're better at finding food! 🤭

That's a good point! One of my friends have a Golden Retriever, and I remembered it liking to run into the house and stealing from the fridge. That, or maybe the Malaysian sun is a bit too hot, and he just wants to cool off for a bit 😁

hahahahahahhaa that´s clever tho!

Thanks! It was either this or skipping the contest for a week! 😜

That sure is a pooch right there!

Yeah, he's a cutie!

Nicely done. You have successfully argued your case and the jury says your photo is admissible for the Contest. You now owe your model a box of goodies for his wonderful poses.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that! 🤗

AAAAHHHHHHH WHAT A CUTE PUUUPPPPPP

Yep, he was a very fluffy little thing! 😊

AHAHAHA!!! Great, really great first photo. I really love it 😍

Yeah, his expression is very cool on that one! 😎~
Thanks for your visit and comment.
