Running the red heads and a wee Smoothie

I try to get a group of dogs out everyday for a good heart pounding, muscle building, brain clearing run in the fresh air. The kiddies run hard too, and I get in a good walk as well...everyone benefits. Yesterday I brought the camera along with me. Once of my goals for the upcoming year is to learn how to properly use my camera....you know, out of the manual mode. I am also going to install and learn how to use Photoshop. I have great subjects and I really should learn to present them properly.

Yesterday's group included Phoebe, Pelly, Hadley and Fiona.

I do have to drive to this area to run dogs, but it's not too far which is nice and I never run into anyone. Oh how I wish this was my own backyard....a girl can dream. 

I love this little group of photos...Marshall's skip in the middle is just so cute, and so him.

The fall colours right now are so beautiful...

Puddles cannot be resisted (nor should they be!)..

Fiona LOVES water...races around in the puddles, biting, leaping and playing..so funny.

Pelly and Phoebe, daughter and mother. 

Ella running like a wild thing...fills my heart with joy.

  

Back to the field..

Boys will be boys....there were a lot of laughs at this photo when we got home.

Ella playing with Pelly.

How cute is this very hairy little stinker?? That neck beard is most impressive right now, I think she needs a haircut. ;)

 Go Phoebe go!

Marshall and Phoebe

Marshall and Hadley. They had a little game going where he would run backwards as she trotted towards him, a lot of giggling.

Marshall loves his Hadley.

Ella and Fiona, I do so love my girls.

The last couple of weeks has definitely presented a challenge to try to get outside in-between rainfalls but if we can't we don't let that stop us either. We wouldn't be very good west coasters if we did!
