Ruby Has a Go on a slide !!!

My youngest daughter was down from Leeds for the weekend and therefore came on our lunchtime walk with Ruby.

Our walk takes us past a 'play park' which was surprising empty !

Anyway, my daughter decided Ruby might want a 'go' on the slide, so took her up the steps and had an impromptu slide down the slippery slope !

Not the best of shots as it was into the sun and the reflection of the slide caused a bit of confusion in the metering. ~I managed to recover a usable image by adjusting the highlights and shadows in PSE.

Ruby had 'two go's' on the slide and seemed to quite enjoy it !

Last of the mini whippet series, back on track with tomorrows picture ...btw - tomorrow is Sunday in my 365 !!!

Aww! Cute

[Juliette Packham]

this has made me gaffaw out loud - can't imagine any of our greyhounds doing this - she does look like she's needing a little persuasion!!

[Meredith Butterfield]

I love this - so fun! Is that a church back there, one that you photograph often? :)

[Sue Wilde]

This is a terrific fun shot. They both look a little trepidatious.

[Phil Howcroft]

@meredithwb thanks meredith, yes the church has appeared on my 365 before :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@swilde ha ha trepidatious, good word, which I think probably reflected Ruby's mood :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@sparkle thanks juliette, Ruby seemed quite happy ...until she started going fast.....at which point she leapt off !

[Phil Howcroft]

@kerristephens thanks kerri :)

[Pat Knowles]

She does look a little nervous & probably enjoyed it more sitting on your daughters knee !!! Really fun shot & original photo !! I love the pink accessory's that Ruby has ...she is a very stylish dog !!!

[Sarah Horsfall]

Lovely shot - I like the sunlight and the reflections in the slide, so whatever tweaking you did it made the best of the difficulties :o)

[Steve Hollingsworth]

Dog agility trials Phil .. That's next for Ruby

[Jennifer C]

go ruby! beautiful image!!

[Allison Williams]

Looks like she is always ready for a challenge. She is an example for us all!

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat thnx Pat, a stylish dog indeed :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@allie912 Allison, thanks for your support, yes Ruby is 'game' for most things...we don't know her age...but I think by her playfulness she must still be very young.....she did quite enjoy her slide !

[Phil Howcroft]

@jenrobcarr Jennifer thanks for your kind comments

[Phil Howcroft]

@sarahhorsfall sarah, only a few tweaks to make it a worthwhile shot...i don't have the patience for long edits !! or the skills either !!

[Phil Howcroft]

@steveh thanks steve, well she is one agile dog...it's quite scary when she leaps up and down the steps and rockery on our garden

[Constance Brinkley]

Fun shot of Ruby and your daughter. You got a great action capture and glad they made it down safely.

[Tashy]

haha funny shot Phil. Dog and daughter both looking pretty cool!
