UPDATE

I'm heart broken to have to write this update regarding my beautiful Asha, she sadly passed away 05th October 2021. It was just another Tuesday morning and Asha was her usual self and full of life when suddenly she collapsed with multiple mini seizures and died later on that night. The vet said her immune system for some reason attacked her major organs and she passed away peacefully. I feel so lost and empty without Asha by my side as she had been constantly for the past 10 years. When my previous border collie Sasha died we got Asha in memory of her and it felt like my beautiful Sasha had come back to me again through wee puppy Asha. I'm hoping the same thing will happen again when I get my next wee border collie pup that it will be Asha come back in some way through the wee puppy. My main aim with my Asha pictures was to make people smile through her pictures and our humor. There wasn't a day that went by that Asha didn't make me smile and I just wanted to share that. I will continue to upload more pictures of Asha to this account as I have taken many pictures of her over the years so her story still goes on. Asha will live on through her pictures and continue to make her mark on this world. She was truly a remarkable dog and will live on in my heart and through her pictures. She was loved by all her knew her. Asha the star of County Down will still shine brightly and will be sorely missed by all who loved her. 13/07/2011 - 05/10/21 ">www.flickr.com/photos/ashathestarofcountydown dedicated to my lovely Border Collie Asha. Rules have changed now as you know non pro members can only upload 1000 pictures. I'm approaching my limit so thought I'd open up another account for Asha rather than go Pro. So if you would like to look at more of my pictures then please go to ashathestarofcountydown on flickr or go to my Galleries here as I intend to make albums of the pictures I have on ashathestarofcountydown in 'Galleries'.

Briefly I have no photography experience other than taking family snapshots with a cheap compact. I noticed one day that Asha just stopped still and looked straight into the camera as I was snapping her and didn't move until I had snapped. It became obvious that she was posing for the camera. So I just started snapping her more and more especially when I knew it is quite rare for a dog to pose for the camera as they tend to be camera shy. My previous border collie Sasha was camera shy. Asha is such a special dog and can do many tricks and has so much personality. I just wanted to capture that! I think since joining flickr my photography has got better from those early days with a cheap compact that I have branched out into taking other pictures other than Asha . Asha has been an inspiration to me and has inspired me to experiment in taking other pictures macro, scenery etc. She has inspired me to be creative with her pictures to come up with themes and captions to show our funny approach to life and my main aim with my Asha pictures is to make people smile... : )) Thank you for visiting my stream and hope you like my pictures...
