Cold but Beautiful

Today has been rather cold but we have had some wonderful blue skies and sunshine - far preferable to me than grey, wet and miserable!

I thought this was a beautiful sight ...

Wonderful Web

Today, while out walking with the dogs, I took these photos. I don't think I've seen anything like it before. It was rather cool :-) I half expected to see a spaceship at the end of it!

Irish Retriever Rescue UK - Reunion 2009

Yesterday I had a card stall at this show. I didn't sell many cards but it was still a great day out with great weather, nice people and lots of lovely dogs of all sorts of breeds and crosses.

I have posted a gallery of photos from the event here.

A summer evening walk

It was a lovely day here yesterday so we went for a walk in the evening and the light was beautiful. I really love this photo - simple but lovely, I think.

New website!

I have been busy sorting out my new photography website as my last one was due for renewal and I decided to look around to see what else was available. I am really pleased with how the new one is looking and it's much easier to manage.

Take a look and let me know what you think? *NEW WEBSITE*

I have more photos to add to it and will obviously add more on an ongoing basis too :)

Dog Show

I went to a charity dog show on Sunday, in aid of Oldies Club and Dogs Trust and sold some cards and had some great feedback about my photos.

I also took LOTS of photos, it was a lovely day with many dogs of different breeds and crosses.

I met a very special someone at the show - Mattie, now known as Peggy, who was taken in by Oldies Club in a very sorry state. You can see her original photos here.

Peggy improved a great deal in foster care and then recently found a wonderful new home. Her new mum and dad brought her to the show and I took a few photos of her.

Her dad was rather pleased when she took 2nd in Best Rescue:


She is such a beautiful girl. How amazing dogs are to go through what she has been through and still be such a wonderful being.


You can see lots more photos I took at the show here. It was lovely to see so many wonderful human/dog relationships :)

Sky

Took this on a walk yesterday, our weather is as usual predictably unpredictable. One minute the rain is hammering, then minutes later the sun and blue skies appear.


Tomorrow we *will* blue skies and sunshine, I am going to be selling cards on a stall at a charity dog show and the weather must play nice ;-)

Cards for a dog rescue

I've decided to sell a few more photo greetings cards to raise funds for Oldies Club, a charity in the UK which rescues and rehomes older dogs (aged seven plus) in the UK.

The cards are available through my store at Folksy - please click here for further details.

You can read more about Oldies Club here.

The listing includes my Water Lily and Riverwalk cards, which I have featured on my blog previously, along with my Robin card:

Puppies!

While out for breakfast we met a pair of delightful Dachshund puppies. They were very sweet indeed ... (you can click on my photos to see larger versions).

Cream Tea?

I love this photo, taken of a scone with a delicious amount of cream and jam! My husband ate the lot, shortly after the photograph was taken!

I sell this photo as a large (A5) glossy greetings card, called High Tea, available from my online shop at Folksy. Perfect for the sunny summer we are having right now.

Shimmer

This photo rates as one of my absolute favourites. Taken on a beach (really?!) a few years ago. Lots of happy memories. The photo looks wonderful as a canvas print on my sitting room wall.

I also sell this photo as a large (A5) glossy greetings card, available from my online store at Folksy.

Like my dog

We met this lovely girl today while we were out. I think this photo gives her a slightly cheeky look :-)


She reminded us of our oldie, who we adopted from rescue when she was in her teens and who we very sadly lost a few years ago.

If anyone is looking to adopt a dog from rescue in the UK, please take a look at Oldies Club, which features lots of older dogs (aged seven plus) who are looking for a new forever home

Water Lily

One of my favourite photos, available as a large (A5) glossy greetings card from my online store at Folksy.

Bad Hair Day

I took this photo last year and decided it would make a cute greetings card - and it seems I was right as others seem to love the photo too :-) Not hard to see why, I did have a most beautiful subject.

I sell this photo as a large (A5) glossy greetings card, available from my online shop at Folksy.

In the field

I took this photo today - and love it, dogs having a run through the long grass and a couple of butterflies caught in the shot :)

And more from the walk ...
