Sister Gwen van Kleef with Saluki Pups

Scanning in some old photos(slides) and came across some of my sister Gwen with a friend's Saluki pups.  One of the oldest breeds. Beautiful dogs. The photos are from the early 70s - the last one is the mama - not being very co-operative.

Hiking with my granddaughter

Hiking with my granddaughter

Here are a few more pictures from our hike in Glendale(Los Angeles).  I asked Peyton to go sit on the bench so I could take a few pictures.  The posing was all her:

Hike with my granddaughter in Glendale

Hike with my granddaughter in Glendale

On our hike last Saturday we went up an ‘in town’ mountain a few minutes from where they live.  Nice hike. Beautiful sunny day.  Lots of friendly people and lots of dogs for Peyton to pet.  She is so friendly and outgoing.  Peyton and I were able to catch some interesting shadows.

She will say hello to anyone and everyone.

My Granddaughter

My Granddaughter

Five years ago tomorrow I became a grandfather.  Opa to my little one.  Due to various complications of life – living in different countries and some other factors I hadn’t been able to see her until this past week.  Believe me the first few days were a little emotional.  I’ve been sending her books for the last two or three years and have been able to read to her – makes me so happy.  Tons of Dr Seuss, Harry the Dirty Dog and lots more.  She is so outgoing, will talk to anyone and I’m so happy that her parents allow this and don’t make her afraid of her environment. 

AND I’m just so happy…

Here are a few pictures from our day at the park up the street.  More hiking shots later.
