Teneriffe Festival - Jul12

This is my first Brisbane post! It has been a busy last couple of months settling into life in our new city. So far we are loving it and realising how much better the quality of life here is.

My camera has been largely in hibernation since arriving but I thought I'd take it for a walk and take some shots at the annual Teneriffe festival. Teneriffe is touted as "Brisbane's Newest Suburb" and the festival has only been around for a couple of years.

We met our friends Francesca and Sasha (Sasha is Francesca's daughter) - they also have a beagle (called Ciel) and it was a great opportunity for the dogs to play together and burn some energy off.

Cookie also met another beagle called Alfie who is just four months old. To enlarge each shot, just click on it. Enjoy the shots!
