Tegan's pics from Chemin Noir 2007

Elsa
Elsa
Elsa weaving. It's what she does all the time. (Boring!)

Toinette
Toinette
Toinette has on lots of dangley bits today. She's not blowing on the wood thing like she usually does. Too bad, she sounds good doing it.

Uriah
Uriah
This is out at the archery range. They shoot sticks into the pasture and then go look for them. (It's a dumb game and they wouldn't let me play anyway.)
My view
My view
So this is what Uriah looks like if I don't crane my neck to look up at him.
Blackmoon
Blackmoon
He is WAY to interested in the sticks. He looks at every single one really carefully. (Boring!)
Rhiannon's wooden sticks
Rhiannon's wooden sticks
So they tied my leash to the metal pavilion. This is my view of the proceedings. (Is it any wonder I complained?)
Sticks
Sticks
Yea, the sticks just smell like glue. And everyone is a little touchy about me cleaning them off.
Nerve wracking
Nerve wracking
I have no idea. They move around a lot. People yell. And I'm not supposed to go past the yellow string. (Which I might add, I can't even SEE unless I look up.)
Thomas
Thomas
Ah, people who understand the importance of being at eye-level. Thomas is a good guy, but is a water-bowl stealer. Odd eh?
Round and Round
Round and Round
So the knee on the left is Rhiannon, and the wheel thing is being twirled by Toinette. It's hypnotic to watch really.
Lilliana
Lilliana
Lilliana is trying to restrain him before he goes for my water again.
Dirty Dishes
Dirty Dishes
Yea, they wouldn't let me clean the dishes. I've seen Piemur do it!
Ainar
Ainar
That's Ainar. Always good for a belly rub.
His own water
His own water
Rhiannon borrowed the camera and took this shot. Notice Thomas HAS his own water.
Group shot
Group shot
Yea, tall girl took this one as well.
Best spot
Best spot
Finally the yahoos quit poking each other and left. I had been wanting to get into that open area all day. It's the best spot for guarding everyone. Great visibility.
Thomas' crate
Thomas' crate
The big grey thing is Thomas' crate. They had to put him in it a couple of times. (My water bowl is on the right there. Mercedes is keeping an eye on it for me.)
Beorthlic
Beorthlic
This is before court. He's ignoring me. Singing or something.
Court
Court
So, this is all I could see at court-- a bunch of benches. (Boring!)
