The day before yesterday I took the dogs out for a long walk in the Nat. Park in our backyard, it was really nice weather so I decided to take the camera with me oncemore. This was the result:

Beatiful skies:

All of this used to be seebottom. That was before 1969:
Image

Enough sticks to play with:
Image

Image

Just great to enjoy a perfect day:
Image

Our Floor shows her satisfaction with the circumstances:
Image

As they do together:
Image

Another nice view:
Image

This was all seebottom to not so long ago:
Image

Image

Handsome fellow:
Image

Then Joep found this old leather football:
Image

And Bas decided it was his:
Image

But Floor didn't agree on that. ''Game over guys!''
Image

In between I saw this buzzard. They are very common down here:
Image

Hunting:
Image

A small windmill:
Image

An old waterworks:
Image

The water that goes from that point to the lake:
Image

A cormorant:
Image

Close to our hometown there was this falcon, a kestrel:

''See you:''

So nice! Glad you brought the camera. You are surrounded by beauty (and not just the dogs!).

I want to be your neighbor. Any houses for sale?

So, do your dogs race? Whenever I take the dogs for a run at the park, they compete to see who is the fastest. It was okay before I got Boaz. But Boaz is so fast that Balto and Boaz race too far away. They are getting better and staying closer. If I keep Balto (Laeken) on a leash for 10 minutes, it slows everybody down.
