Jan 10: Music

After getting up early to be out for the Sunrise this morning, there was nothing but thick fog!

So, for the first time in months, I am having to use a bonus word and as some of you have asked me about the Bag-Pipes I brought my youngest pup for christmas, here is a pic of him playing them tonight.

Not sure what Pig is trying to tell us with her body language!

[Digital Hermit]

You bought baby Bulldog bagpipes? My sympathies are entirely with the dogs....

@shweetheart - I just noticed that - Ha ha ha ha....

@digitalhermit - That's easy for you to say!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

You werent joking when you said you son played the bagpipes. Good for him.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

You should know me, I never joke.

Pity you didn't have a sunset tonight . This would have made a great photo taken outside with the sunset in the background. Maybe you could arrange it?

[Jo]

If he could I am sure Pig would be covering his ears. What a clever young man hs is.

[Sue Hawkins]

great shot Bulldog bagpipes? I bet the neighbours love you! The dog finishes this shot to perfection a really fun photo.

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Pig's considering whether she might just end it all . . . Find the cookie monsters face peeking out strangely disturbing, I can't concentrate on the music . .

@purplehaze12 - I will have a word with the little people, I think they are in charge of sunrises.

@joluise - Pig has asked to go outside now

@sueh - The neighbours love us. He has a keyboard, saxophone, three guitars and a full size drum kit in his room.

@tishpics - The t-shirt says "Don't Stop The Music'

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oh the Scottish blood in me is pleased as punch that someone WANTS to play the bagpipes!! But, yes, the poor dog does not seemed to be pleased at all! lol
@tishpics That's Elmo, not the Cookie Monster, but I'm sure they both like cookies, and Pig might prefer that the piper and Pig be enjoying some now too.

He has wanted a set for month, I think he was pleased when he got them..

So jealous... live in US, but my grandfather was from Aberdeen, Scotland. I hope to make it there some day!

[Pam Knowler]

Lovely shot of your son - what a good Dad you are to buy him bagpipes - I can only imagine what they sound like from Pigs body language!!

[❀ Lynn]

Wow...that is a nice set of bagpipes! I played them as a teenager/early twenties. Still have a practice chanter though I haven't touched it in years! Great shot of your youngest pup...he's older than I envisioned!! No wonder you could hang your Christmas tree from the ceiling! Pig does not look impressed however.

[Paul]

cool shot Bulldog

[Yvonne]

Oh, I LOVE the bagpipes. I hope your son enjoys them.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

@3rdxoff - It is a lovely part of the world AC

@pamknowler - Thank you Pam, they are not that bad but there is room for improvement. :)

@lynnb - You play them - Do you give lessons?

[bernadette mcelligott]

LOL look at poor Pig, earplugs for all???

[Caz]

Poor Pig, he's thinking "Please stop" ! Nice shot, I love to hear the bagpipes :)

[❀ Lynn]

@gphelps5 haha....nope, no lessons, I wouldn't even consider myself a player anymore! It has been about 25 yrs since I've done any serious playing.

[scooter]

Very cool!!! I think bagpipes are wonderful!!!

[Katia]

:D fab! and the t-shirt is so cool! :D

[Sonia]

Bulldog.... Your dog is called "pig" and your your son like making noise! Got it! New follower, got a bit of catching up to do. Does pig like noise or is he just waiting for some food?

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very cool shot. I bet they are hard to play.

[Kathryn Marshall]

What pretty bagpipes. I like bagpipe music when played well. I don't think Pig likes bag pipe music from his body language in this photo.

[Henri Russell]

A good photo for music. Good for your son playing bagpipes. I love to hear bagpipes. Not so sure about Pig though.

[Linda Webb]

Aww too bad nature didn't cooperate, but this is also a great shot! The dog says the better to see it than hear it, though.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

@sonibear - I have two dogs, one is called 'Pig' and the other is 'Shit Head'.
Here is a shot is all eight of them: http://365project.org/gphelps5/365-additions/2011-06-09

I think she was just meditating to the melody.

[Phil]

... and I thought I was brave buying George a ukelele! Pig's expression is wonderful. Your youngest pup is clearly getting some sound out of them... good for him!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Not sure why I am surprised that he should be interested...and glad he's happy when he finally got them...as for Pig.......not sure she's into it!

[Cindy]

Omg. Thank god I don't live any where near you. Your neighbours must be so happy with you.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Well that's not very nice Cindy.
Good Luck with the new job on Monday!
@cinwin

[Sheila Coates]

He could join Chesham's mystery piper - often heard playing in the park but never seen - or is it your son??

[Cindy]

Thanks. Will let you know how it goes.

[Cally]

Pig looks as if she is about to be sick.

Can youngest pup play "Dashing White Sergeant" or "Scotland the Brave?"
