IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TO-DAY…….

IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TO-DAY….BE AFRAID!

There I was setting up a shot of the Bluebells that have started to flower in our local woods, when I suddenly became aware of the sound of heavy breathing behind me, no other sound apart from the bird song other than this rhythmic breathing from deep down in someone (or something’s)throat.

Slowly I turned to see what monster was preying on me. Two dark brown eyes locked on mine accessed me for size (or flavour); the head twitched from left to right and the mouth opened then closed and then burst into a broad smile and sank back comfortably onto its rear haunches. A Bernese Mountain Dog, all fur and good nature, going under the name of Solo settled down to watch the proceedings…..so I couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a shot of the audience!
