A question of size again

I took lots of photographs today, using my new lens, but few of them worked.  I do know what went wrong and I've learned from what I did, although that hasn't helped me post a blip in my journal. 

So it's back to Rosie who was in big trouble today as she began the walk by running into the ditches along side the road and came out very dirty.  I think her breed of dog, not a traditional Labrador, is used to retrieve birds when owners are out in the hills shooting.  She has a great penchant for picking up things, literally anything that is lying on the grass verge,  and carrying them along.  Today it was this tree branch.  She tried many ways of carrying it along with her and was quite successful, but we were all in danger of being knocked over as she ran about with it in different positions in her mouth until J had been hit by it once too often and hurled it over the hedge.
