A-Z Challenge 2021 - Photo Shoot: L - Lions, Lilly

 It's unlikely that I will ever get to see lions in the wild so I have to be content with shots at Newquay Zoo.

When it comes to dogs however I have many from which to chose. One of those always got attention.

However I don't think we would ever get her to do this - a performance by another Lilly in our village - 

Coming out of her lake was a different matter altogether.

Dog of the Week

Scout is my daughter's senior dog, if you can call him 'senior' with his eighth birthday in a few weeks time. He doesn't like having his picture taken and will move away if you point a camera at him; he almost runs when it clicks.

Favourite Photos - Thematic Photography

Congratulations and grateful thanks to Carmi for his Thematic Photographic themes. This week is the 300th time he has set a theme for us to follow and in which he has given us free rein to show our favourite photos.

Here are just five of mine, most of which will have appeared on my blog before, at one time or another.

This is the most recent,

I wasn't very good with a camera before digital came along. Good photos were a bit 'hit' of 'miss.' This is a successful miss!

The Infinity Bridge at Stockton-on-Tees provides a lot of opportunities for camera buffs. One of my favourite shots is this one taken looking up from the footbridge -

Dogs have featured in many of my posts and it's almost impossible to choose a favourite from amongst them. So I'm going to include two - of the same dog.
