Today we would like to try to share with you an aspect of our walk, "THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE",
which we experience
EVERY EVENING,
here in the summer-time in SOUTH AFRICA...
Setting off on our evening walk...
(Forgive my tongue hanging out...it's just the excitement!)There is nothing nicer than a walk in the cool evening here in South Africa. The day is drawing to close and people are returning home from their busy days.
We set off, usually just before sunset, so that our humans can ease away the tensions of the day. One of the benefits of 'SUNNY SOUTH AFRICA' is the amazing light which we have. It brings out the colours of everything around us, highlighting the beauty of the foliage and the sky!
It also highlights our beautiful golden coats!...
The first part of our walk is usually walking 'away' from the sun. Sometimes I get a little freaked out by the long shadows in front of me, but it doesn't last long.
On our return however, the shadows are behind us as we walk 'towards' the sun...
At this time of the day, the sky is a stunning blue and if there are clouds around, the contrasts are highlighted.

Our palm tree (again) in the neighbourhood.
Whenever we take 'sky' pictures like this we think about theARMY OF FOUR
across the world from us, and all their beautiful photography!
mmmphf!...even TOFFEE & TOMMY look beautiful!
OK TOFF!....ENOUGH POSING!!!
As we turn back for home, look at the sight that greets us!
...AND as the sun finally goes down, we think about ALL our furry friends across the world.

The light on Toffs gorgeous. am looking forward to this with summer coming. It stays light here till 7-8ish now so evening walks will be the order of the day.. sometimes in the heat we'd walk Lucy at night but I havnt tried that with the Danes...
Fancy the long shadows spooking Max.. my favourite 'chill' thing is to just grab a lead and enjoy seeing the walk through the dogs eyes...
beautiful pix
Wooos Max! Very pretty sun pictures, although for me right now I wish the sun would go away, it is supposed to be fall, but we are still having record highs in the 90s.. yuck! No sunbathing yet.....

Hey there Max!! Great pics, wish we were there to walk together!
Cheers,
Maxx & Mommy
It is so beautiful in So. Africa! This has been a very busy week for me! I tried to get out late today for some photos, but no luck!! Maybe this weekend!
For as much as your part of the world is surely different, it's amazing how some things look the same. Some of the sun/sky photos could have easliy been taken here (except the one with the palm tree in it!), and the photo of the street could be oe from right around our own corner!
Thanks for sharing! Oh, and if we ever visit there, we'll now know to keep our hands of your woolly capterpillars - don't want to get itchy!! Glad ours are harmless (although I have yet to find out if they are tasty)!!

Oh why must the walk end? We enjoyed it so much. We love the colors that change when the sun casts its shadow. It seems to create a magical feeling.
Beautiful photos you shared.
Our days are getting shorter- the sun hides from us and it is getting cold.

Oh Max, you guys just waltzing your way into summer and here its getting furry, furry cold. In fact we may just have our first snowstorm tomorrow night!
Aren't we lucky to be able to enjoy our other side of the world's balmy weather when one of us is cold!
Kisses,
Stella
Hi Max
So glad that you too get to go on nice evening walks. That soft light makes your coat look extra lovely. Here in Aberdeen, the nights are closing in, and soon it will be dark when Gail returns from work. Bummer!
Cheers, H.
Your sky is just beautiful! We sure do love your blog! It's such a treat to visit!
Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
WE've got some serious catching up to do! And so many beautiful photographs to look at!
Lovely!

Hello Max and your mates!
