One of my attempts. A new digital camera is in my immediate future.
SO I thought I had captured some great moments in 2009 Blessing Day history. And I did capture the moments, but they’re all blurry! Well, they’re not blurry if you look at them in thumbnail size. This is what happens when a person breaks her camera by dropping it in the airport and has to resort to taking still shots on a video camera.

All of which makes me all the more pleased to have met Jim Lane on Saturday at the Iroquois Blessing of the Hounds. Jim knows his stuff, and his pictures are, well, let’s just say they are profoundly NOT blurry. They’re excellent. See for yourself, and enjoy reliving the day!

What strain are these griffon coated foxhounds?
The rough-coated foxhounds have Welsh blood. Some of the English packs have Welsh blood in them, and that comes out in the rough coats from time to time, sometimes only in a hound or two out of a single litter. We have quite a few of these “woollies” at Iroquois.
