Dog Daze! - November 2007

The weeks and months are flying by and we are rapidly approaching the dark days before the end of the year. The weather has seen many typically wet and windy days, oh for some winter snow and some clear, crisp days. We can only dream of those at the moment and it will soon be Christmas - if that thought fills you with dread, it's best to look at this months selection of out-takes and misfit photos...then get out for a good walk!

Arr-woo! Arr-woo!! I am the wolf of Catbells!!

It's-just-too-windy. I can't hold on...

...no, I'm going...

...aaarrrggghhh!

Is my hair alright? I've just got something on the end of my nose.

Speak no evil, hear no evil...

...see no evil!

Casper! Come here!... the old enemies meet once more.

Right...ready..should..I..now?...smile - okay.

This is one way to spoil the still reflections in Levers Water, now if I stick my tongue out too...

Still managing to look stately, despite the wind and the rain up on Brown Howe.

Hmm, not a bad day on the walk up to Scafell Pike, eh Casper?

Who's that? There was even someone else next to me taking photos of Casper on the cold, cold summit of Scafell Pike.

Trying to hide in the grass on Scafell. Or is he getting a drink?

He is a loyal dog, Casper. He is always at my side and will follow me anywhere. When I stop to take a photo or two, he patiently waits nearby. I think this photo on the steep descent from Scafell neatly sums up 'dog and master'.

Guess the fell. No prizes but a mention on the site for anyone who can name the distant fell and where this photo is taken from.

Update: The answer to the teaser is Dow Crag (which many guessed correctly) from Lowick Common (which most didn't). The two people who were 100% correct were Pete Juniper and Martin Block. Well done both, you obviously know your fells!
