Flowers, Fireworks and Fun
I cannot believe it is nearly two months since I last posted. This being "retired" thing is very time consuming ;) I shouldn't have any excuse either. The weather this year was not great and severely curtailed a lot of our normal visits and photographic opportunities. However, on one of the good days we did make an effort to spend at day at Shrewsbury Flower Show. I hadn't been for a number of years so very much enjoyed seeing the exhibits, the arena events and the fireworks at the end too.
From a creative point of view, I got busy creating some cards for my Zazzle store. Firstly, I updated it with lots of images for my regular store but, I also wanted to create some shabby chic cards. It has been a long while since I did the card thing! However, it was fun using photoshop, art and photography altogether.
Meanwhile for my regular art, I had a commission for another wire Haired Vizsla which was for an old customer but, Hooch is a relatively new addition to the family.....
Meanwhile of course there were plenty of wildlife visits, rainy day shots and to get away from it, we were lucky enough to escape to some blue skies once again. However, perhaps that is another post! I hope everyone is fine and well.

Hi Chrissy, Great to see you posting again - ! This retirement thing is more time consuming than working anyday!
Hi Stranger!!
Lovely photos as usual - Hooch is just gorgeous and must have been a treat to draw.
Sue
great job with the fur on the dog :D
glad you are enjoying retirement in sunnier climates :)
A nice selection of photos and art for your return :-)
Oh goody. You're back, I'm back. I'm just not that into facebook, (I peak, but that's it), so it's GREAT to get a blog post from you. More gorgeous photo's, and your commission shows so much canine-personality.
