I like the photo above because it reminds me of the watermelons at my local farmers’ market. And I like the photo below because it’s just funny. It’s a picture of Snoop, the photographer’s Rottweiler letting everyone know whose watermelon that is. The photo is entitled “Happiness,” implying that Snoop is smiling, but I’m not so sure if that’s a toothy grin or a don’t-even-think-about-it snarl. Either way, that watermelon is all his. A big thanks to Rob Greenleaf for letting me use this photo!

I’m big on watermelon images as my computer wallpaper. While everyone else has photos of family pets or their favorite sports team, I’m displaying images of juicy Desert Kings and Royal Jubilees. Oh well, to each his own. The image above is my current wallpaper. Has been for about two weeks now. I find it somewhat mesmerizing. Check this website to get a large version for yourself.

As you might have already known, humans aren’t the only ones who love watermelon. All sorts of animals love it too, including (and perhaps especially) dogs. Below is a shot of a fella named Romeo. As you can see, Romeo loves his watermelon and I’m guessing he really loves his generous owner too! Judging by how many photos there are online of dogs chowing down on watermelon, it seems like dogs really like it. Does anyone else have a dog that eats watermelon?
