Seasonal changes

 How wonderful it is to have the dog as I have an excuse to appreciate the beauty of nature. I know it sounds mushy but look at take a look for yourself.

Early morning by the canal

An early misty, murky morning near the lakes. There was a large fox running through the undergrowth here. Of course Rosie rolled in fox poo!








But the view was gorgeous










Although some of us had other things on our minds.
















Of course some mornings aren't so lovely...especially after the rain. I nearly lost a welly boot in the mud that morning, and discovered that my waterproof  - isn't. The good thing is that there comes a point when you can't get any wetter. I'd still like a proper waterproof for Christmas, though...

I would not have discovered half of these places if it wasn't for my friends.

 Here's Isla, one of Rosie's special friends.










They like each other so much that the didn't fight over the stick - much.

The evening walks are also good, usually just Rosie and I alone. Apart from the mild anxiety that she won't come back to be put on the lead (she can manage a launch for a treat and jump away at remarkable speed), we have a fun time. She is changing from being a small puppy to a young lady, getting a bit more mischievous and disobedient, especially on sofa jumping.

Look at these gorgeous colours - no they are not photo-shopped.

Behind every cloud...
