Sausalito

August 7, 2008 – 4:41 am

If you ever make the trip to San Francisco, I can highly recommend a visit to Sausalito. It’s a lovely little township just over the Golden Gate Bridge and in the afternoons it has a wonderful view of the city as the sun sets. There are plenty of beautiful, upmarket art galleries which I happily wandered through for a few hours, and the main street is lined with restaurants wafting delicious smells.

I followed this lady and her Collie around for a good while. I thought she might suspect that I was stalking her (which I guess I was, but in a nice way). Look a little closely at this photo and you’ll find what the Collie is watching.

A hair trim at the dog show

July 25, 2008 – 4:11 pm

One day in 2006 I headed to the Canberra Dog Show to capture some shots. Having never really been exposed to the intricacies of a dog show before, I certainly had my eyes opened. Some of the long haired breeds seemed to require a full-time hair stylist. I witnessed trims, straightenings, blow waves, ribbons and bows and the application of plenty of hair spray. This little Miniature Collie sure looks impressed with the whole affair.

Rembrandt

June 23, 2008 – 7:31 am

You may remember this lovely dog from this photo I posted from my time in Whistler, Canada. Because he’s so handsome I couldn’t help but include his portrait as well. I’m not sure of his name. I probably should have looked at his tag. He looks so regal, as if he’s out of a painting by one of the old masters, so I’ll call him Rembrandt.

I’m only just back from San Francisco and I can’t wait to start showing you some of those photos. I had such a great time in this wonderful city. Every day was something new and wonderful.
