Gorgeous photo. I also love poodles...

I met my first Labradoodle last week...he had a lovely personality...it was funny though...he barked at every noise he heard like poodles..

Robert,
these are hunting dogs and they need around an hour's walk at dawn and dusk. They also need to hunt to get it out of their system ---hence the clifftop walk on theedge of the southern ocean.

Shaymus,

From what I hear the Labradoodle is more easy going than the poodle, which can be quite a handful when on the hunt. But poodles are also very much part of a family, which becomes a de facto pack that bonds together.

My ones live in an apartment in inner city easily, provided they have their dawn and dusks walks in the parklands and they can run wild every second weekend along the clifftops of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula.

your 'here and now' looks just great from here (and by here i mean strait from inside the cyborg -which i am in...
gosh and it remind me of a classic painting of the 19 century...forgot it's name and the artist who made it...(only there it's a herd of fluffy round sheep- no mean to insult your hunting dog :)

Moon,
I guess it is very plein air. I guess it would be a French painting, probably from the Barbizon school.

There are sheep there as it is a working farm (no trees) with a public walking track on the edge of the cliffs; a track that is part of the Heysen walking trail.
