off the lead
smells blow on the wind
free to please
Roaming around in the bush near Bendigo was one of Charlie’s happiest experiences. Having just missed a wallaby once she was always on the lookout however we were more careful before the lead came off. There were always many different scents both on the wind and the ground. Occasionally we would come across a prospector with a metal detector, people walking dogs or themselves and plenty of motor bike and 4X4 tyre marks.

Not an easy prompt…you did well 🙂 Nice to see Charlie out and about. I like how you capture the joy and hazards to look out for when our pets are off leash.

It wasn’t easy for me too dear Denis, I stayed for some time while watching these photographs. I love Charlie, and I know the feelings behind the photographs, but how nice we have them. Only memories remain at the end. Thank you dear Denis, I know not easy for you too, you both too… But Charlie lives in our hearts and minds as yours. Love, nia
