Another two weeks of sunshine?

Hi Woofers!

Daisy here!

It's another dry, sunshiny day.

Old Two Legs was keeping a close watch on me to keep my back out of the dead rat along the path.

Spoil Sport!

 If I rolled onto the rat, I could have a wash in the sea but OTL said that was a bad idea!

Well, it was a bit cold looking!

We met up with the gang and they were all over OTL like a rash! The Woofers that is, not the Two Legs!


We said 'hello' then went off through the maze where I found the apples had started to fall and picked one up and in the shade of a tree set about chewing lumps off the apple.

It tastes OK but you have to watch out for maggots!

It was only in the maze that we find the apples so I only had time for one apple before OTL called me off!

OTL spends time looking in spiders web and trying to photograph the little devils!

Another one of those multi legged creepy insects but this one had a family of young babies with her!

I looked at the weather forecast and although Scotland was wet, down here we had sunshine for the next two weeks.

Just enough time to get the factor 35 out!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Another Mono Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy back again.

Yesterday we were thinking about using a red filter but it's use is somewhat limited so we stuck to the yellow filter.

Old Two Legs had the idea of using the InfraRed camera but was too lazy to get it out of the photo cupboard!

So, we stuck to the normal camera with the menu set for Monochromatic use and of course the Yellow Filter!

  A yellow filter is OK but you need a bit of cloud to add some contrast to the shot!

 What OTL should have done was to reduce the White Balance but he was more interested in getting me to keep up and to leave the sniffs alone!

  Should have done the old 'Fiddly Diddly'!

'Fiddly Diddly is OK but I could sniff something on the wind that was calling to me!

 I stood there for a good ten minutes sniffing the breeze and finally I rushed down the path and found it, a dried-up dead rat who I helped roll into the grass!

You know, I reckon it's a bit of dead ratatooie!

One of the good things about walking where we di is that it is a bushy maze and there is a bench half way around, so if I get a bit lazy, OTL can sit there while I catch up with him!

 

 It's OK providing the birds haven't poo'd on the seat!

 We have never got lost in the maze but there are times when the maze sort of blends into a path!

 

 Now, this is a bit of the path and not the maze!

 This bench and table were Holly and my favourite bit of shade after coming off the sea front. When OTL sits on the bench there is a nice shadow to relax in!

 

 You can see the shadow under the table.

 Well, that's it for today, back home to some serious snoozing!

Luv,

Daisy.
