Old Walk Photography with Angel and Jackie

When we decided a couple of weeks ago that The New Walk was a less relaxing experience than The Old Walk, and therefore returned to it, I remembered, dear reader, that I had not ever really taken you along The Old Walk path in pictures the way I recently have with The New Walk. So this week The Adventures of Angel and Jacqueline will feature photographs along The Old Walk path, with hopefully some loose storytelling involving our favorite little pair of doggies along the way.

This is the beginning of the path that runs along the barranca. As you can see, it is very lush compared to the New Walk where the new vegetation has yet to really take hold. I think Angel and Jacqueline find a lot of interesting things here to sniff out. This is the beginning of the path that runs THROUGH the barranca. It is even lusher than the path that runs parallel to it. The dogs really love it down there, but most of the trees in the barranca are eucalyptus trees. If you have ever walked through the dead leaves of eucalyptus trees like these, then you know you will end up with shoes that smell as if a male cat marked them. We don't go down this way much. On the rare occasion when we do walk down by the barranca, there are many opportunities from some great photography. Once we leave the area around the barranca, we find ourselves on a fairly busy street, but that doesn't deter Angel from looking for hidden treasures. He looks so happy because he is on his walk, AND he found a hidden treasure. Jackie also likes to root around for hidden treasures, but what she does best is to stand around and look pretty. I was a bit disappointed in how this picture turned out. I am not the best photographer on the planet, and so I have yet to master taking a good photograph of a black little doggie with a white little doggie in the same frame. Either one turns out too dark, or the other too white.

OK, so there wasn't much of a story this time around, but hey, you got to se a few pics of a couple of cute little dogs, right? That's pretty much all I can do I guess, so I hope it's enough to bring you back next week when we further explore The Adventures of Angel and Jacqueline.

Also, don't forget to check out the Carnival of the Dogs at Mickey's Musings, and the Friday Ark at The Modulator for more interesting animals.
