There you are, out on a walk, happily romping around with your park pals in a carefree manner, when you are called to attention by your camera wielding human (in this case Gail)?
"Oh Bertie, do come over here. I have spotted a great photo opportunity. Look, there are a couple of poppies still out in this wild flower patch. If you stand just here, I think I can get you, the poppies, and that tree in golden leaf in the background which will be a good indicator of the season and thus the remarkableness of the poppy being still in bloom on this Friday morning in late October…"
Have you ever heard such twaddle?
I mean it's obvious right away that Gail is trying to cram too many things into one picture and that her camera will not be able to cope with me in the foreground, a feeble display of nearly expired poppies behind me and a tree somewhere in the distance.
Can you blame me for having no patience with the whole charade?
BIg *sigh* it's something all us pups have to put with isn't it Bertie.
ReplyDeleteI have to say though, that flora does make a perfect background to show off your handsome furs !
Loves and licky kisses

Dude we so get it too. Why do they insist on taking that darn flashy beast everywhere? For goodness sake do they not get the fact that it is our walk? Have a fabulous Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly

Oh Bertie, we are so with you. Every opportunity is. Photo opportunity over here, especially since that PUPPY arrived.
ReplyDeletewe soooooooooooooo understand your dilemma Bertie - we have to got thorough this on a daily basis - selective hearing dear pal - don't come when called - unless there is a treat involved :)
ReplyDeleteTwaddle indeed, Bertie ..... twaddle indeed!!
ReplyDeleteALL THE TIME.

Good grief...that happens to me all the time too! Ma is like the pupparazzi. I feel for you...though the colors of the leaves and such are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!

Bertie we need to circulate a petition stating absolutely no flashing beast or posing when a WFT is romping in the park. Sincerely,
ReplyDeleteMadi your bfff
Plus it's embarrassing
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
As long as treats are forthcoming for posing....soooo not our problem. We are in no way responsible for her lack of skills or the quality of the equipment. You want us to stand where? Tilt our heads? Show me the treat in the hand.

ReplyDeleteCrikey Bertie, that was some mouthful of artisti-speak right enough... But it has to be said that Gail's attempts were not entirely unsuccessful, regardless of your disinterest! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
OH yah, I think Jazzi heard that a time or two!!
ReplyDeleteThose camera happy humans are always cramping our style! We do think the photo is colourful.
ReplyDeleteMomma listens to me on photo composition, so hers are always grreat! If it's not a good place for a pic, I adjust until it's better.
ReplyDeleteBOL, sounds like my momma.
ReplyDeleteIt's like that here!
ReplyDeleteWe think we all need to BAND together to put an END to this sort of nonsense... Like maybe every time they TRY to take a pic like that.... let's all Squat and POOP... THAT might ..just MIGHT work.
ReplyDeleteIt is happening over here like crazy!!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
That picture attempt was WAY too complicated. We think the best photos are just of YOU! My mum is the same - always concerned with the background ...

I had to put my paw down when she wanted to take a picture of the incision where my toe was amputated! THEY have no common decency!
ReplyDelete-Bart
Wait, Bertie, I does not understand. Gail bribed, er, encouraged you with treats right? If so, then I would has beed there smiling at the camera. If no treats, then I agree, what a silly thing to do!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you is feeling lots better from your heroic defence of that poor puppy from the savage tiger. Did you ever decide what story to tell if asked on the train, by the way?
~lickies, Ludo!
Fully understand where you are coming from Bertie. We have loads of fun messing about when the dreaded camera comes out.
