My parents have this Jack Russell, called Jackie, whose favourite toy is a cut off piece of hosepipe… cut off, mind you, because she chews the pipe when she gets the chance!
This evening, Robbie, the old Labrador, was gently playing tug of war with her and the pipe; before she won the game.
Robbie is actually...
AAAHHH J, these are really nice photos! I’m sure Robs did that on purpose… he can understand us perfectly… clever doggie
Oh, I love these… not usually a fan of pet photos, but these are gorgeous.
I love the vivid colours and the DOF is stunning!!! All that out of focus grass in the background is perfect!
What a clever dog! Grand old man!
.. and just to add .. he loved the game yesterday – his old eyes sparkled like a puppy!
Lovely photos of our doggies 
I gave Robbie a painkiller last night – he’s fine this morning (for a 12 going-on 13 yr old lab!)
Beautiful doglet pictures. Jackie is so cute. You no I am partial towards Labradors so I am so sure Robbie was being the perfect photographer’s assistant. They are truly such great dogs.
What awesome photos! I agree with Colleen: that lab looks so gentle!
I love how the brown leaves bring out the brown on Jackie’s coat. Very nice shots. I’m not even gonna tell you how much I wish that green grass was just photoshopped in!
i love these Jeanette, and the poor old lab looks so gentle!
I got to my parent’s house this evening to pick up the boys, and Elaine’s friend Robyn was visiting… so they were the unlucky guinea pigs today

How beautiful!
Very striking!
I am a HUGE fan of shots with the subject in the first or last third…I LOVE these!!!
Lovely!! One tired eye from Elaine – she had had a long day!!
I love the perspective in these shots. So pretty!
Connor got upset with Bradley this evening because he didn’t understand the game Bradley was playing with his Transformers. He managed to get them away from Bradley and hid them in his backpack. He then promptly went outside to see what I was up to.
I eventually got peace in the household again by...

Daily struggles! Eventually they will learn to play nice together and you will be amazed.
It would be so much easier siblings could always place nice, but sadly that isn’t the way it goes.
Ag shame, poor little Connor. Even with the twins I fing L loves to play on his own and C can not play on his own. Just as tough.
Great shot! Yes, it is quite sad when the age gap does play a role. I find that sometimes with my two as well.
The exact same thing goes on here Jen. Awww man it is quite a sad capture – even without the face the emotion is there.
The body language says it all. Great capture.
Aww poor wee Connor. I think Zack and Max are headed the same way. Max ends up taking whatever Zack plays with and ‘ruins’ his games when all he wants to do is spend time with his big brother.
Shame man 
What a sad photo!
Happens. It’s the part of growing up. The youngster might want to be with his elder all the time, while the elder feels it irritating to have him followed. I have been the youngster 
at times.
Poor fella.
love the emotion in this photo. it speaks volumes.
What a sweet moment you captured. *I* want to give him a hug!
i love the way you captured his emotions. really nice.
Ah shame .. poor Connor
oh look at the stubborness in thos little arms, shame man – and I know how hard it is to get siblings of different ages to get along – although it’s normally Daigan begging Aaron to come and play
What an amazing photo! It capture so much…
I had the same fights with my siblings growing up. And the only thing I can say is, at least we grow out of it!
Oh, that picture tells a thousand stories. It is so hard to lose your favorite play mate. I absolutely love this picture! It is beautiful. All of your pictures are! Thanks for sharing this story, I really enjoyed it.
If you’d like to stop by my blog I’m at Cake Crumbs.
THAT is exactly what is bothering me at the moment… How to handle the sharing between siblings. Boobah’s not particularly good at that yet, and his sibling isn’t even here yet!
My daughters have similar wars. With dolls and petshops. I never deal with it well because I just want our house to be a sharing utopia. It isn’t. Sigh.
LOVE LOVE the shot. It’s perfect.
oh no shame man!! poor little guy!
sweet capture tho!
***Proud Mom Alert***
Lance and I got a letter the other day from the school, informing us that there was an awards ceremony and we needed to attend. Only 2 kids in his class got the note… so we were really looking forward to it!
Well, the awards for Grades 0 and 1 were held today in...

Congratulations to him and beautiful photos.
Do you self host your site?
I am thinking of starting a small photography business and I want a web site for it. After looking at your photos, I’m almost too intimidated to do it. . .

Woohoo! Well done Bradley, what an achievement. Keep at it!

Even though Connor’s eyes still look so very blue in photos, they are changing. Just like Bradley’s did at the same age, his eyes are more grey now, and sometimes you can see the green starting to show. In a few months time, I’m convinced that his eyes will be as green as Bradley’s are.

Your kids eys do change late!! He’s still gorge!
Beautiful, love the darker blue outlining the colour of his eyes.
That blue change to green thing happened at about 2 months with my kids!! So I think you are lucky!!
Great shot… his little teeth showing are so cute.. !
beautiful blue eyes! Funny how eyes go through color changes, huh?
Stunning eyes, I always wanted a child with blue eyes – My children have varied browns from very dark to amber. Connor is gorgeous!
Yes .. I have noticed his eyes changing – a beautiful child with a smile that melts your heart!
All my kids have different colour eyes.
he is such a handsome little boy. ♥

Oh he has such beautiful eyes! I can see a tint of green in there already, so I agree – green-eyed boys eh?
