Kona, a young boxer, is a dog who loves splashing in the waves along Solana Beach near San Diego, planet Earth

but he paused here, at least briefly, during an early evening romp on october 7, 2018

along with two people friends he gazes skyward in this snapshot, dazzled by the flight of a Falcon 9 rocket

their seaside view is of the sunlit exhaust plumes from the rocket's first stage thrusters as it returns to Vandenberg Air Force base, its launch site over 400 km to the north
