The Beach

I have to say, we are really lucky with where we live. A beautiful mountain and lake right behind our house, a little harbour only a 3 minute walk away and an amazing beach that goes on forever is but a 10 minute drive from us. Since we got Mia it has been in our plans to take her to the beach, we knew she'd love it (and I knew I'd love it too!!) Finally the time came 2 weeks ago, we loaded Mia into the trailer and headed for the beach. She was such a good girl while we were there, though she was a little apprehensive. I knew the second time would be better.

We went back to the beach with her again this Sunday, and boy was the second time a million times better!! We didn't go near the water the first time we went so we decided we'd do it this time. At first she wouldn't have anything to do with it, she wouldn't even walk through the shallowest of puddles, so Peadar put on his wellingtons and walked out into the water, after a moment of hesitation Mia followed. And that's when it got really wet and really fun! She had a great time, and had myself and Peadar in knots laughing!!

We're all very much looking forward to going back and getting soaked again! next time I think I'll bring a towel!

PS Thanks to Peadar for taking these great photos of myself and Mia, they are ones that will be cherished for years to come :)

.equus.

I recently decided that I want to do a detailed photographic study of the equine, more specifically my equine. I have the honour of sharing my life with this wonderfully affectionate, intelligent, stubborn, confident and oh so funny 4 year old. I want to capture everything that makes Mia what she is. Her strengths, her weaknesses, her personality, everything. I have already selected a few of my past photos to include in the study, and I hope to add to them with many more over the coming months.
