Fitness
A couple of weeks ago we did a theme of “A Day in the Life” where you would have seen that Nixie and Django love racing around the park in the morning and then sleeping all afternoon. This combined with bush walks and swimming (thats Nix, not Dj, he won’t go in the water yet) is pretty much the fitness routine in the Lix house. Nixie Lix is rocking a teenage model body already – we’d like another kg on her if possible – so we don’t push the dogs too hard. Plus they attend Doggy Day Care three times a week and thats like an 8 hour workout!
We went back to the park across the road for some more action photographs. I was determined to catch Nixie in flight.
I’ll show you this video first though … and this isn’t full run but you can see why she’s so hard to catch!
Now the ground is pretty dry and the backdrop isn’t particularly pretty so I also used this as an opportunity to spend a little more time in Photoshop working with blurred backgrounds. And then I came across something that gave me some motion blur too.
I’m an absolute Photoshop newbie … don’t laugh too hard – just know that the jump is real!
Not to be outdone, there is no show without punch, Django has Nixie’s old frisbee and has started playing with it. I’m pretty sure he is more into the treats he gets for bringing it back … or when he gets Ken to chase him with it.
And speaking of a game of chase – its not only for at the park apparently!
Django will grab something that he isn’t supposed to, my good jandals, Ken’s phone charger, something we are trying to put away and run towards Ken. He will then take off full speed in the opposite direction and the game is on. This new game in our house is called “CHASE ME DAD!” and its the funniest thing ever. I finally got the chance to try and catch some of the action but I think another video might be in order for the full experience.
Project 52 is a weekly circle project so from here, use the following link to hop over and visit my friend Kelly Wolfe (Hamilton, New Zealand Pet Photographer) to see what they have created, and keep visiting the other blogs until you end up back here.
Happy Friday y’all X
