With the sun shining for a second day, we decided to take Ellie to a small village called Anwick, about 15 miles away from us. There's a gorgeous river with a really powerful waterfall, that we knew she would love. Aside from the waterfall, you can follow the river for miles, and it's a beautifully wooded area.
Unusually too, the water in the river was absolutely crystal clear. We saw a few other people with their dogs, but Ellie is really getting very good at ignoring other dogs. She still, of course, loves meeting people with a wagging tail, hoping they will stroke her.
At the entrance where we joined the river, there is an old lock. This photo shows Ellie posing by the old lock handle that would have been used to open and close the lock gates. I must say that Ellie is getting exceptionally patient with me, happily sitting for ages sometimes, while I move around to get the right shot of her.
A rare shot of Ellie and I. We both decided that we would climb upon an old fallen tree trunk, while Jan snapped away. Usually, I am the one behind the camera, so this is a rare shot.
We've also got a lot of video taken over the past two days, but I need to edit it first.
Here's a shot of Ellie playing the part of a water-baby. She's really getting a passion for water now, which I'm exceptionally pleased about. You can also see in the photo just how clear the water was. It was lovely.
As always, check out
the gallery for more images. There are some really good ones from today's trip.

Yes, I can clearly see that you are addicted to photos now. Aren't you afraid it might lead to harder stuff, like videos and slideshows?
It's nice to hear that Ellie has learned to enjoy water so much, looks like you have many rivers where you live and she'll be able to enjoy them now. It's great to be able to spend more time outside with the weather improvement, isn't it?
Have fun, B&X
