Meeting Family at Xmas Time.
On xmas eve we were walking along the sea front and a man asked me, ‘what kind of dog is that, I think it might be the same as mine’? To cut a long storey short his dog called Poppy, is Cosmo’s sister! Same parents but a newer litter. And knock me over with a feather they live about about a mile away?
Poppy is smaller, round and fluffy and likes being brushed, a kind of Barbie golden doodle. Cosmo is a big boy and likes getting dirty, very much an alpha male, hates being brushed action man type. They chased and romped together happily for 15 minutes while we talked about our dogs. Poppy likes dog fish as well.
Now I have been ‘walking with cosmo’ for about a year now, and this blog has enabled me to create art about my surrounding environment. The fact that it requires a blog to make that happen is something I hope to develop over a wider area than can be covered on a dog walk.
So I am creating a new blog at http://retcreative.blogspot.com/. This will enable me to widen the area that I make art about.
I have only noticed over the holiday that I have already completed three year long projects.
1) photographs of the four seasons changing, mainley taken in the woods. Aut 06- summer 07
2) numerous photos of the wind farm from every month of the year. Oct 08 – Oct 09.
3) A walk with Cosmo. 09
so for 2010 I intend to record the wider kent countrside on my bike for a year. I have two bikes a mountain bike and a road bike. Plus I am carrying a little extra timber these days and I hope the riding will help in that respect as well.
So I will start concluding this blog, but I expect a further decade of walking with Cosmo, so plenty of time to share ideas again if thats the way things turn out.
