Spencer – 10 years together

Ten years ago, I drove up to Kaleden and returned home with 4 1/2 pounds of fluff and attitude.  My life forever changed.

Just a few months old, playing with his teething keys.  I was very lucky he almost always chose to destroy his own things rather than mine.

He’s always been, and always will be, much more than just a dog.

Out at the dikes for a walk, one of his favourite places.

Rather than say any more, it’s time to grab the leash and head out for an early morning walk; just us and the birds, which we both prefer.

Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters

I couldn't have timed this better had I tried - I love the symmetry of their position and the shadows being cast by their beaks. 1/400sec, f5.6, ISO100
