Theme 6 - Sport by Meagan

Well I chose this theme, and it turned out to be a little harder than first thought! With Easter holidays  falling right in there it meant a lot of the normal sporting fixtures were not played this weekend!

Never fear!!

My first shot is of my favourite sport of all, and that is our Social Whippet Racing Club!  All our whippets get together and race around like mad men, and so many smiley happy faces at the end!




On Thursday we went to the Carlton vs Richmond AFL match at the MCG - this was my first ever live AFL game so I was unsure if I would be allowed to take my camera in! I chose not to... and I'm a bit bummed that I didn't as we were in pretty good seats!

*sigh*

But on Saturday we went to Bulla to check out the Easter Dog Show.... these people take their sport seriously... I couldn't get past taking lots of cute and cuddly photos of the puppies... and tried to get one at least of what dog showing is all about!! This gorgeous Afghan required quite a lot of grooming prior to the show ring!



With no other sporting event on nearby... I chose to use a second photo from my whippet racing club.

This is of one of our new racers 'Magnifico', he's being held up by his 'dad' to watch what's going on!!


I am loving everyone's photos, and am enjoying the challenge! Some are far harder than others!!
