Morning Walk

[gilliwigs]

Decided to take a walk in our local nature reserve this morning. It's been such a lovely day. Here we are soon after setting off.

Jonah :wub:

Here they come!

At one point Muffin & Jonah were tearing about at top speed (as whippets do!) in and out of the trees and scaring me to death, as usual! (w00t) Then there was a big whine from Jonah and I could see him on his back and for an awful couple of seconds I thought he wasn't going to get up. :unsure: But thankfully, he did, and seemed none the worse for wear. :sweating: I think he'd 'discovered' a wire fence and hadn't seen it, ran into it and bounced off onto the floor. :wacko: Thank goodness it wasn't barbed wire.

Come on, this way, says Muffin. 8)

Here's one for all you tree lovers - I discovered a new species - "Whippet tail-growing tree! :lol:

Tall trees. (w00t) I don't really like these pines as it makes the place so dark. And it was quite windy this morning and they were swaying and creaking - I was a bit worried they were going to fall on me! :sweating:

Just mooching. :huggles:

Here's the avenue of pines.

Lastly, Muffin looking rather regal. :wub:

I am getting the hang of it Trish but that was my old camera! :lol: The Canon is a bit cumbersome to take on a walk on my own with the dogs. But I am in the process of uploading a few taken with my new camera, so will post them in a minute.

Here we go - a few more pics taken in the garden this afternoon with my new camera! :lol:

Look what we've found mum! :teehee:

Wasn't too happy with them messing about with this stick but this is what happened when I tried to take it off them! :- " It's a lost cause. :rant:

Couple of pics of Muffin posing. :wub:

Actually, the Sony has been a good little camera, but I think a couple of those pictures would have been a lot sharper with the Canon. I've yet to take it out with me, but next time Richard comes on a walk with me I think I'll give it a try. :thumbsup:

If I had a lovely stick like that and someone tried to take it off me I'd run away :teehee:

Why do dogs love sticks so much? "Sorry lads, that's not actually a dinosaur bone, it's a stick"

Great photos Gillian, loved the one in the tall trees :wub: I think Muffin and Oscar were seperated at birth - the way they stand and look and the pose.... I hope you can see it too... its quite uncanny... :huggles: and he does look very regal in that picture. :wub: :wub:

 

[jostler]

lovely photos, beautiful hounds and look at your bluebells :wub: they are such gorgeous flowers but fragile - I'm amazed any are still standing after the thundering paws have passed

Yes, Janis, I can see the likeness. I noticed how alike they were as soon as I joined K9 and like you say it is quite uncanny. :unsure: :wub:
