23 July - A walk in the woods

lovely pics and blog Gee, love the butterflies, i have lots this year, think the dragon fly is a rudder darter, lovely to get them as so quick, bet millie enjoyed the walk to ;o))

What a lovely walk that was ! Great pictures :~)

It's not such a bad life is it, when you can enjoy and appreciate all the wonders of Summer in the Countryside.

Lovely photos and captions Gee.
Millie is looking well :o)

Gee that was a lovely stroll through the woods, thanks so much, I enjoyed it!!

So did I ... beautiful Butterflies ... thanks for sharing. : o ))))

Millies really has landed on her feet living with you, she looks great, and I just love your woodland photos.

I love the way Millie is sitting in the doorway as if to say " I'm home " ..
A great blog and a lovely walk Gee .. :o))

Is Millie a greyhound rescue ? She's a beautiful girl who's obviously completely at home :~))

Thanks, Sanbaz, I wondered if it was a Ruddy Darter but it didn't look at ruddy at the one in my garden last year :)

Glad you all enjoyed the wander through the wood. You're so right, Heron, it's a wonderful life and I am so lucky to live here, a far cry from the streets of my childhood :)

Millie is a whippet X lurcher, B8babe, from rescue kennels a few miles away. She was abandoned while pregnant. She has obviously been loved and trained at some time but then treated roughly by someone. My young grandson lifted his leg to step over a branch in the woods and inadvertently knocked her - she cowered away and was really frightened. He was mortified but after a cuddle and a treat she was happy to be friends again. It was heartbreaking to see her like that and its lovely to see her romping around the garden more and more :)

It takes time and she's obviously in the best place to be able to put any past owners behind her. She's gorgeous ! :~))

Super blog and photos Gee loved the ramble with you and Millie she is just lovely keeping watch at the door aww :o)

Lovely blog and photos, thats one good thig about having a dog, it gets you out, looks like Millie enjoyed her walk. :o))
