Bark in the Park!

There was a big turn out at Saint Anne's Bark in the Park 2012! That's why you'll see a lot of 'overhead' shots here, even in the park, there was little elbow room to photograph the amazing wet noses. There were just so many people and pets out to enjoy the event. We couldn't have asked for a better day for Bark Off!

Forgive me for not remembering everyone's name. The couple of hours shooting are a blur. But what happy, shiny, sparkly faces I met! Like this cutie pie. What a great girl she is. And boy can she perform too! She is all set to be the next 'Pudsey', winner of Britian's Got Talent. 

I immediately felt this gorgeous girl's energy when I spied her. If you think she stayed still for this photograph, then you'd be wrong. I only managed to snap it as she belly crawled her way towards me in the grass with bum waggling! A ball of cuteness.

If she could have put her two paws around the water bowl at the finish of the race and shout out 'All mine!' I think she just might have.

And what's a blog entry without a cute little expression like this. I just love those head tilts! Looking good in the bandana.

And now, I'd like to say a quick word about this lovely lab. Often people tell me that they just can't get a photo of their wet nose, because they are 'always a blur' or won't 'sit still'. Well this is not so much me trying to prove a point but rather me hearing the need for a decent photograph. Memories of our four legged friends are just too important not to have...and just look at that pink nose!

All shapes and sizes are welcome to join the Bark in the Park!

And of course, I have a mushy soft spot for the seniors!

I would like to say a big huge monstrous thank you to all of the amazing volunteers who make such an event possible! And what is The irish Blue Cross all about? Read here.

If you think you missed all the fun then don't worry! The next Tymon Bark in the Park is only two weeks away on Sunday 24th June! We hope to see you there!
