Up close and personal
A rare picture in this series, as it shows some of the photographer himself, reflected by the window pane. The camera is in makro mode, and very close to its motif: no wonder Chencho is a bit shy. Also the dude is blocking his view. -
On the beach
Chencho rather liked being there, perhaps because he enjoys a life of illegality: from May on, the beach is closed for dogs. It was still quiet, and we seemed to offend no one. -
On the beach
After leaving Ciudad Real, Chencho had been in transit in Barcelona for a very short time, and I doubt if he got the opportunity of visiting the beach. The North Sea doesn’t have the touristic appeal of the Mediterranean, which shows in that Chencho conc… -
No time for sleep
Chencho is wide awake, and chewing his rope until it has stopped moving. -
Couverture fauve pour un Basset fauve
This Hairy Harry demands extraordinary measures: a cover in a similar color, and not particularly susceptible to molting. -
Chencho in Holland
After having spent more than a month in the vicinity of the Alps, it was time to get acquainted with the Low Countries. -
Chencho in Holland
It didn’t take long for our daughter to win Chencho’s confidence. Perhaps that’s because he already knew her from Skype. -
Before a walk
The harness is new. Chencho somehow managed to destroy the first one. No crying over spilt milk: red becomes him. -

Chencho
After a long walk –it’s Spring, hurray!– I forced Chencho to pose for me in our garden (he grudgingly assented). Almost all pictures I got a chance to take were from behind, and though his tail is a joy to watch, it isn’t quite his best part. -

Colors in the air Oh, everywhere She comes in colors – Mick Jagger/Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones, “She’s like a rainbow”) Weirdly, the “she” in the quotation is the rainbow itself, but my only alternative would be from “The Wizard of Oz”, which wo… -
High trail
Chencho is like a tape recorder, his features including fast forward, stop, and rewind. That’s only natural for a member of the bloodhound family. We don’t mind if he takes his time studying, though we don’t always share his interests. -
