Poodle Portraits

[Alan]

Jeanie here,

Not happy having to post these in 'Nature and Wildlife', but Alan says that's where 'Pet' photos should go - he still has no idea.

I went to the hairdresser and then found some nice back light to pose in and Alan eventually noticed - (things I have to live with). Still working on my expressions - I think I'm good at wistful - still working on enigmatic

I think he's over processed them - he's not very subtle, but what do you think Bella?

Thanks for getting in touch with your people - roubles sound tasty but maybe having regular dinars are better in the long run?

Cheers

Jeanie, these are absolutely beautiful. Your poses look very professional and natural. You are lucky to have someone like Alan to look after you, even though he was hard work there for a while, getting his photography on the right track.

Charles is hard work too. Sometimes I think he is beyond help, but at least he tries, when he remembers. Most of the time he is just plain trying.

When Elizabeth saw these, she said you are a real beauty, a Super Model. That you look deep, mysterious. She was very impressed.

Thank you Bella - high praise indeed from you

and thank Elizabeth too please

Dear Bella and Jeanie,

We non pet owners are feeling a little left out here, so this is an open invitation to ALL members who would like to contribute in some small way to this non human section of our fabulous forum.

I do actually have a pet and it just happens to be a rock. I call him "Steven". No particular reason but we don't know anyone within our circles with that name.Steven is very shy and likes to stay close to his family in our loving environment. He has 2 sisters Lucianna (meaning light) and Bianca (which means white).

Every time I get the camera out to take a rock family portrait, he rolls over and it makes it very difficult to get that keeper, but we are still trying.

I took him swimming once and as you can imagine, that was disastrous - but in saying that, he did love me skimming him across the water showing off his body surfing technique!

He has decided not to go swimming again because of the awful memories of his parents who sadly are no longer with us. They went swimming once too often and Steven is still traumatised after witnessing the burial at sea.

When I get some good snaps I'll post them to the forum which, hopefully, will inspire other members to get active and share their rocks or whatever they have.

Steven is excited about becoming an active member and telling everybody about his experiences, on his journey through life as a very much loved family pet.

Steven told me he can't take his eyes off those gorgeous poodles!!

Hi Isac,

Bella here.

You must let Steven contribute to the forum. Don't suppress his creativity. Just gently provide encouragement, and perhaps he will stop rolling over. Or you could super-glue Steven to a piece of wood or something. That would fix him.

Steven certainly has good taste. Jeanie is a real looker, but then that applies to all poodles, as everyone knows. I'm a bit of a looker too you know. Everyone says so. I just have to get Charles moving and get his camera out so he can take a few pics of me. He's getting a bit old and is a bit slow, so it's not easy.

I look forward to seeing more of Steven real soon.

I like them all but the first one especially, "Please Mum Put That Camera away" Nice touch of Glamour glow as well. TFS

Jeanie, you look amazing with your neatly trimmed ear fluffs .. . but you look calculating .. are you planning an attack or something ??

[Alan]

Thanks Anna, I've found a really good stylist in Moruya. But I can't help mucking up the 'do' while running on the beach - I'm just a country girl

I do ambush Alan regularly by jumping on his lap and licking his nose and telling him he needs to get up from his computer and take me for a walk, but I think he's a lost cause
