Uschi the Weimaraner

Yesterday we took Uschi on a walk to one of her favourite spots, Linacre Reservoirs near Chesterfield.

It was a gorgeous day.

Perfect weather for a swim.

Two little King Charles Spaniels stopped by to see what Uschi was up to.

Uschi’s favourite friend came to stay with us recently.    We all went for a walk at Chesterfield Canal.

Trying to get a shot of Ferdy’s face… a bit too close Ferdy!!!

It was a beautiful morning.

They decided to cool off and have a swim and splash in the canal.

Happy at the end of their walk

One of the places that we go to most often when we visit our relatives is Crosby beach which is north of Liverpool.

The beach is long and wide (unless it’s very high tide) and it also has a art installation, “Another Place” by Antony Gormley.  Another Place is 100 life sized cast iron sculptures of the artist and they are placed at various spots along 3 km of the beach.  It’s well worth a visit.

Here are a couple of shots of one of the sculptures that is being slowly swallowed by the building sand!

And one image I took some time ago and remains a personal favourite.

It’s well worth a visit and the dog gets a good walk too!

Some more shots of our recent weekend in Merseyside. Uschi loves being able to run through the water.

She ends up rather wet and soggy

She moves pretty fast so it does take several attempts to get a decent shot of her moving!

We went to Merseyside again recently and whenever we go we make sure that we get a couple of walks on the beach.  Uschi loves splashing in and out of the sea and she loves the space to run about in.

These shots were taken in the morning, but it looks like sunset. Probably because it was the weekend following the Icelandic volcanic eruption and the ash cloud was effecting the upper atmosphere.

She found a ball: always wonderful to find some treasure on the beach

If stones are roughly ball shaped then they count as found treasure too

Huge, happy, tongue!!!

She runs and runs everywhere, but she never goes too far and likes to keep close to us.

At the end of the walk we met Harvey, a big male weimaraner that Uschi was quite taken with
