Finally

This afternoon was the first time since Tim broke his foot in Morocco three months ago that he has gone out on an actual walk with Sahraa as I have been taking her both morning and evening (a real trial for me time wise and in the stifling heat and wearing a black abaya). She was a bit confused that we both were walking her and had to be reassured every few steps, by both of us, this everything was OK. Which it was until I pointed my new Sony at her, and then it was the usual routine of her turning her back on me or hiding behind Tim. But I did manage to get one shot of her that I liked, although it’s greatly cropped.

Back in Casablanca, the intricate detail of a mosque door, posted earlier:

Better put the camera up high, so she can not get to it!!!! I really love her expression. Hunter Jean loves our camera's. She knows that she is going with us about 98% of the time. Great work. V.

It's a beautiful shot and shows gentle demeanor! V

A delightful portrait in spite of its reluctant subject. Really never heard of a dog, until now, that would object to the 'evil eye' of a camera lens!

That's a nice image of Sahraa, Helen. The detail in this capture is fantastic. Glad to hear that Tim is back on both feet and can now resume his Sherpa duties.

So alert and beautiful. Another excellent capture of Sahraa. It sounds like she is learning a whole new way of life. Voted

A look of total resignation !!

A gorgeous portrait of her, Helen. It is a shame she is camera shy as she is very photogenic. V

She is so beautiful and I am glad you managed this shot of her. Good news about Tim, but I had to chuckle at your account of Sahraa's confusion now you are both walking her! VV
