Stolen moments...........

...this afternoon!
Dodged the incoming storm and the mountain of paperwork to get some seascape photography in at North Avoca.
Days since my trigger finger has had a workout on the shutter release!
The suitcases came out to today ahead of the weekend departure and this sent Jasper into a spiral of desperation....he hates suitcases.......he gets a bit of separation anxiety.
The light did nothing special and we got more wet as the shoot wore on so this was an earlier shot. There are a few blue-bottles here but I have uploaded a better shot in my portfolio here for anyone interested....I have NEVER in my life seen such masses of the nasty stingers. Thank goodness we left Jasper at home.
Daughter played good samaritan on the beach after her run. A gorgeous labrador was collapsed in a puddle of bluebottles- shaking and paws held aloft. We helped lift her clear then we managed to get the attention of the inattentive teenager who was with her and rather sternly told him he should get the poor dog home pronto and quite possibly to a vet...he didn't seem too worried! She was having trouble walking, trying to lick the toxin off her poor feet and could only walk on three paws. My heart breaks for the poor dog.

So sorry for my sparse comments this week. I am trying to at least reply to the comments but am not managing much more and the coming two weeks will be increasingly difficult as we travel. Thank you though for your lovely comments and visits to my journal.
