The Flowers And The Hound

I took shots of these tulip beds in the park. I could see two people with their dog, who was sitting on a bench, posing for photographs. I doubted they'd still be there when I got there.



And yet the dog was still there, patiently sitting while his or her humans took pictures. I couldn't pass up the chance to take a couple of shots myself.

  4. The dog sits so proudly.and cute. Nice.
    We have lots of benches and paths, and really a lot of dogs, but I've never seen a dog sitting on the bench.
    The tulip in the first photo are lovely.

  6. The dog seems to be used to posing for the camera. He looks so proud. And those tulips en masse are stunning.

  7. What a well behaved pooch. Or did he bound through the flowers after your shot?

  10. That's a dog who badly wants to be in the movies. Probably saw a few too many "Lassie" pictures! Cute. Gorgeous colors again!

  21. She reminds me of my dog Scamp, except Scamp had longer hair.

  22. I thought you were going to say that you found the dog busy digging out tulips. It's a well trained dog to stay there.

  23. again wonderful photos of the tulips and of the dog.

  25. What a good dog! He must like the camera. Little ham.

  26. Those tulips are just beautiful. I got to see a few starting to bloom when I was in Turkey in March.

  27. I have never seen a dog neither sitting on a bench so patient. Extra surprise for you today. It sure was meant for you to take him. Love your photography.

    Maybe next week you will have a pretty girl somewhere sitting on a bench or standing. Call out to you. Hello can you take a picture of me. Strange things happen.

  28. He looks very well trained...probably lives with cats!

  29. @Anita: I'm wondering if people are overdosing on tulips.

    @Ciel: this one was such a good doggie.

    @Norma: we never had a dog like this one. A collie and a daschie-spaniel mix.

    @Red: I could see other dogs doing that!

    @Gill: thank you!

    @RedPat: very well behaved.

    @Marleen: I thought so.

    @Tamago: that dog's getting a whole lot more attention than his humans must have known.

    @Shelly: no doubt!

    @Susie: here it's an annual tradition, and beloved by many.

    @Carolann: I would have figured the dog would have had enough and gotten off, but this one seemed content.

    @Jane and Chris: possibly!

  35. I was so hoping you'd get to take a photo to share with us! I like the look of that well-behaved dog on the bench. And those tulips are amazing, so near the same height and such vivid colors in that first photo. Wow!

    ReplyDelete
  36. That first shot just pops with color. And the dog looks full of personality. Glad you got its picture...I was curious. Though I'm surprised it wasn't getting its portrait with tulips.

    @Peter: I thought so!

    @Mari: oh, he knew they were in plain sight, and must be used to being photographed.

    @Randy: thank you.

    @Lynette: thanks!

    @Kay: I'm sure his humans had him photographing by tulips too.
