Jinks in the daffodil meadow

My French group was cancelled this morning so we decided to go to Exbury Gardens. It's very dog-friendly and dogs are even allowed in the restaurant and there are several dog bowls full of fresh water outside.

This field of daffodils slopes down to Beaulieu River.

I used 'clone & heal' on FastStone to make Jinks' lead disappear - no possible chance of him being outside off the lead.
Instant FAV. This is such a beautiful composition and capture.

Margaret - you've hit on a truth there. For some reason he just loves cocking his leg up against daffodils!!!!

This is such a sweet picture. Jinks looks a little worried.

Nicely composed and edited Hazel. Jinks is a star!

A surprise trip out for Jinks then.....lucky boy! He is looking very handsome among the daffodils, like your composition showing him off at his very best! Clever you re lead....sounds complicated

Looks lovely, "a field of dreams" Jinks looks to be visualising his own doggy daydreams ! Love daffodil's.

He looks very relaxed there in the daff's; I clone using Ribbet sometimes, it can be fun:0)
Lovely shot

Jinks in de bloemetjes. A Dutch saying for when someone have a celebration (S)He will be sitting between many flowers .
A beautiful view on this nice country too.

Lovely daffodil meadows and Mr. Jinks is the icing on the cake

Incredible picture. Reminds me of an area at the edge of a park where someone had planted a large area with what they said was 1000 bulbs. We used to run there and I would take a friends dogs on the run.

It's incredibly easy - but after all I've said in the past about post processing, I'm surprised that I'm indulging in it!!!

Truly wonderful capture! Well done.

That sounds lovely, Richard. There used to be daffodils with pink trumpets at Exbury but sadly they have vanished. Thank you so much for your comment and the fav. (I'll try to explain it to Jinks!!)

Wonderful capture!

Lovely, Jinks is adorable
April 4th, 2014  
This is so cute, Hazel. I love that field of flowers, too.
April 4th, 2014  
Great spring shot of Jinks, he looks very happy amongst the daffodils.
April 4th, 2014  
Wonderful picture Hazel!

Wonderful shot of Jinks in such a beautiful setting! Looks like he was enjoying himself!

Such a lovely shot, Jinks is in a great scene. The restaurant sounds like a wonderful place for people and pets.
April 5th, 2014  
great pic.
April 5th, 2014  
Good shot as it is, but another possibility would be to crop off the right 1/3, and the sky, to create a photo that concentrates on Jinks looking at the flowers. I realize that it would be an entirely different photo, but I think it would be fun.

Beautiful puppy portrait!
April 5th, 2014  
Looks like he's stopping to smell the flowers! So handsome! Fav!!!
April 5th, 2014
