Lucky Snapping - snapping

Just a couple of photos from my weekend snapping to finish off Lynne's week of snapping.

Meet Cassie, a VERY lively 10wk old cocker spaniel.  She is adorable and so so pretty.  She belongs to a friend who was happy for me to go round to take some photos to use on my cards.  Shall have to have a return visit though, as I am not totally happy with the brightness of the white in her coat, one minute the sun was in the next out!!! Plus I would like some more cuddles from her - any excuse really.

 

and this is Molly, a 10 wk old Springer Spaniel, belonging to my sister in law. Once again she is adorable and loves cuddles.  Much bigger than Cassie and abit slower but still very lively.

 

 

I also have a English Bulldog puppy, called Dudley to go and photograph over the next couple of weeks, when the weather and my shifts match up - so watch this space.

....the half term that was....

and it went so quick as always :(  It turned into a very busy week catching up with a couple of good friends who I haven't seen for awhile - good chat and lovely food - makes me realise how lucky I am to have good friends - thank you :)  I was asked to take some pics of a ladies dog during the week, bless him, he is 14 and didn't really want to do anything but sleep, so that is what he did!!!!!  Cruelly I did give him a gentle poke to see if he would wake up and managed a few photos.  I think the tongue says it all really :)

Mick is on the ferry and on his way back from his trip of France and Italy - so it will all be back to normal here tomorrow.  He has had a great time and has promised to take me next time.... yesssss!!!

As both girls were off work today we decided to go for a ride on the Bissoe Trail   http://www.cornwallcyclehire.com/  we haven't been there for years and I mean years.  Anyway we picked one of the hottest days we have had this year to do it - possibly mistake number one!  we set off and surprisingly we missed the signpost to Portreath which is where we were heading (those that know us will know that is not surprisingly - mistake number two and found ourselves on the roads and lanes of Cornwall and for those that don't know them - they are NOT flat like the path we were meant to be on is!  So after two and a half hours of cycling we all agreed that we could not go any further as our bottoms were too painful and it wasn't fun anymore so we turned round and headed back.  That turned out to be fun as it was nearly all down hill and I managed to do my Butch Cassidy impression much to the girls bewilderment and my delight!!  Oh we had to stop for the odd photo as you do :)

We actually had a great time and will head back another day - a cooler one - and follow the correct route this time.  Thanks girls for a great day.x

2011 A-Z challenge on UKS

Over on UKS I am taking part in the 2011 A-Z challenge and this last fortnight the letter has been D, so being extremely un-original here are a couple of offerings - dogs,

This is Bob, a friends's puppy , he is adorable and so lively, only 19wks (if my memory serves me right). He never stopped running the whole time I was there!

This is Archie a German Pointer, I went for a lovely walk with him and his mum on Monday, he is only 3yrs and once again a real love and so obedient.

Well I had to put Sammy in -though the photo wasn't taken in the fortnight, but it was the last one I took of him, so I couldn't leave him out. An Enlish Bull Terrier in case anyone was wondering :)

More of Alice

I have been asked to post another photo of Alice taken last Sunday, so here is one.

I spent a wonderful morning on Sunday photographing a beautiful 3 month old golden retriever puppy.  She was so playful it was diffficult to remember what I was there for!  Here is one of my favourites from the morning.
