Un Poseur? Moi?

I can't believe that Gail has just accused me of being "a bit of a poser these days". After all the time and energy she's devoted to cajoling me into standing or sitting still in front of the camera in suitably scenic spots.

There's just no pleasing some folk.

So, what do you think, based on these pictures mostly taken last weekend over at Loch Torridon?
Me, standing proud in front of Beinn Dearg
Me, the first Autumn crocus and Hamish's memorial stone
Me, besides the exuberant waters of Abhainn Coire Mhic NĂ²buil
Me, admiring the ever splendid view of Loch Torridon from the cottage garden
Me, lit by a shaft of sunlight, waiting to be taken outside to do more posing
Me, showing my appreciation of the Torridonian Sandstone
Me, in reflective mood in the cottage garden
Me, in guard dog pose (scared, aren't you, sheep?)
Me, the centrepiece of a stereotypical Scottish composition involving heather and mountains

Me, in the heather again (eat your heart out, Westies!)
You have to admit, I'm getting rather good at this posing lark, even though I say so myself.

Oh what's this? Gail is saying perhaps I might consider modelling some cute wee outfits then, like so many of my bloggie pals.

NO NO NO NO NO !!!

Quelle horreur.

  2. Bertie, you're a wonderful model, but please, leave the clothing to the Heidi Klums of the world. You're perfect just as you are.

  3. Well, I would say you are a Top Modell, a professional one, a good one. So, what does Gail pay you for all this photoshootings? I think you need a Manager.

    Oh, and what was that about Westies....

  16. Ach! I've got it Bertie! Gail wants a large selection of pics so when you finally write that scientific treatsie you have been at and it gets published . . .why you will have a selection of photos to send in with it!

    Very smart, indeed!

    Kisses,

  17. hey Bertie,

    You can't help being a poser, you are just so naturally beautiful and photogenic, why not flaunt if you've got it? :->

    All the photos are stunning! Both you and amazing Scottish scenery! You are a very lucky pup to live in such a grand area!

    I completely agree with Gail that you should partake in modeling, as you certainly seem to be a pro in posing for the camera (I tend to look away). Not sure on the outfits, but you may look smart in an argyle sweater!

  18. It's not your fault Bertie you are so handsome.

  19. You are a disciplined model, but certainly NOT a poseur! Stand your ground: no clothes, unless it's something that keeps you warm in winter or dry in rainstorms. In other words, for your personal comfort only. Your cottage and garden are so gorgeous!
