Patiently Posing in the Park?


So to begin with I went along with Gail's suggestion that, for the LLB Gang's Nature Friday this week, I "pose nicely" in front of some of the pretty spring flowers in Duthie Park.



But soon my patience wore thin...

And when Gail started going on about how lovely it is to see the magnolia in bloom, a rare sight this far north in the UK...

... I switched my attention to an interesting message from one of my park pals.

By the time we came to the new(ish) rockery, my boredom threshold had been exceeded by some margin, so I left Gail to take the pictures on her own.

I was half way home by the time she was done. Can you see me?

And no I was not out of control, I was social distancing...

Happy Nature Friday folks!

  2. We liked the tulips too, but my human and I both agree that the photo of the rockery would have been greatly enhanced with your handsome self sitting in front of it!

    Bertie lad, sometimes you just have to follow your nose... and there was plenty of space for you to fill, but the looks of things! What a beautiful show in the park gardens though - thanks for taking Gail and her camera along. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  7. What a lovely place for a walk. We can understand how you wouldn't want to hang around while Gail took all those pictures but we're glad she did.
