Good evening,

After a few false alarms, Della finally gave birth to Star on October 23. High excitement and some initial nervousness gave way to joy as Star finally got her feet after some stumbling which really should not be done in public. Star is a gorgeous light chestnut colour, and expectations are that she will get a little darker turning to a liver chestnut as she gets older.

It was a busy weekend here with large a number of visitors and our new neighbours children all stopping by to take a look. After only three days the little one is now walking, trotting and being cheeky.

She does sleep a lot!

Of course the new arrival was a great excuse to get the camera out and get some happy snaps. As the morning light arrived I had a mental blank in the excitement, couldn't remember where or what the camera settings should be for the light, subject etc. Ah, panic. No, just set the camera to 'P' and press the shutter! All worked fine on the end. I will post a "Gallery' entry for Star soon.
