Snoozy Sunday

Hi Woofers,

Daisy back again.

Well, it's Friday so that means it is practice time for the F1 racing in sunny Australia!

The Missus has been up at silly o clock watching the practice and the crashes and it was Williams who wrote off one of their cars down to the chassis so for this race one of the drivers had to give up his car for this race. The good news is, they will have a replacement car for the next race.

OTL and I were up early and lucky us, we met up with Devo and Zoro down at the beginning of the forest path.

 Chaaaaarge!

One of the good things is that I'm off the lead 'cos I'm a good girl and won't run away but Devo and Zoro are the sort of dogs who can't be trusted to come when called!

Unlike me wot is an obedient woofer!

I can hear him but I just don't want to wait for him!

To walk with Devo, we have to go around the walk-in reverse, that is in an anti-clockwise way, not a walking backwards!

We saw The Lads chasing their balls but as we were up the top of the path there was no way I was going to be running all the way down there to say good morning to them!

OTL has been collecting frog spawn sacks from out of the pond. He's thinking of getting another water pump so he can install the old whisky jar we use to have in the old pond.

We spent the afternoon watching a film on the TV and yes, TM fell asleep half way through!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Wriggly Tiddly!

Hello Woofers

Daisy and a hundred baby frogs!

I got OTL to wake up a little earlier with the hope that we would meet Devo and Zoro but when we got to the car park there was no sign of them, in fact there was just one spaniel looking woofer who was charging up and down the football field chasing a ball.

We let him carry on and headed off to the sea wall.

 Again, not much of a sunrise.

 It's amazing that the sunrise can change so much in such a short time. This shot is taken from the top of the field and you can see the sun through the cloud.

However....................

From the sea wall we saw this view.

There, taken from on top of the sea wall.

Again, not the best sunrise we have seen but you can see how much it has changed over a period of five minutes.

We came across a couple of Spannerdoodle dogs who where getting all excited over some sniffs on the top of the sea wall.

Back home The Missus got all excited and demanded OTL get the camera and follow her into the garden.

Now OTL has been saying that the small wriggly things in the pond looked like insects but TM was convinced they were small tiddlypoles.

OTL fitted a filter to his lens and that cut out the light reflecting off the water.

Guess wot?

 Can you see the Taddlypoles?

This lot were swimming around, nibbling at the egg sacks and the green weed that has grown in the pond.

So, it looks like TM was right and OTL wrong! We will be getting a good stock of frogs this year!

I have seen a hedgehog in the garden so there is only a grass snake to see to complete the list!

The next target is in the insect family, Dragon Fly, Damselfly, Pond Skater and other pond life!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy and the Taddlypoles.
