A wet day in the Cheviot Hills, this was a fun day. Gracie at her best, full of vim and vigour, an easy day. miles covered without counting, hills falling by the wayside as we climbed and descended,  she is a strong Lady, and “she” takes a good picture!  I always look sort of grumpy!  Dont know why,  I`m not honestly!!

This was taken a while ago, I still like it though.

    1. Yes the pink was incidental, but overall, I`m still not keen on being photographed, must come from when I was a kid, and my Granny was always asking me to smile for her box brownie!Lol.

    1. These were taken by others who were there. Flash? Or not to Flash? That is the question! Whether it be nobler in the mind, to suffer ...............etc etc!!

  8. I don't think you look grumpy...you just have a " Monk" smile. It's a serious detective look , with a hint of a smile.
    I adore these shots of you!! Grace, wirh her head around
    You , is such a pleasing layout. And its great, cause you didn't plan it. Good work photographer( was it you?)

    A long time ago, I decided, I'm going to smile everytime
    the camera's out. It was a beach trip with horses and friends . When we viewed all the shots, everyone said, " you look great in all the photos !" I don't think I did, but smiling, truly does add face value!

    Glad you posted these wonderful takes on life . Gracie is stunning!
