About the Breed
The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched'no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed. The Cocker is the AKC's smallest sporting spaniel, standing about 14 to 15 inches. The coat comes in enough colors and patterns to please any taste. The well-balanced body is sturdy and solid, and these quick, durable gundogs move with a smooth, easy gait. Cockers are eager playmates for kids and are easily trained as companions and athletes. They are big enough to be sporty, but compact enough to be portable. A Cocker in full coat rewards extra grooming time by being the prettiest dog on the block. These energetic sporting dogs love playtime and brisk walks.

It looks like something a fashion-conscious middle-aged mum would wear. Perfect for a ‘weekend wife’.

Feature from the sign at the Chick Inn Drive-In, Ypsilanti, MI. A great old school drive in restaurant. If you go, I highly recommend the "Paul Bunyan" burger and some onion rings!

Scafell from Wasdalehead, Lake District - 1st August 2005.
Time to raid the archives again ...
What I wrote back then:
"We arrived back at Wasdalehead in time to catch the last of the warm summer light, before the sun disappeared behind the surrounding hills and suddenly plunged the valley bottom into cool shadow. The four girls were sitting in their tent, chattering happily about the things we had done and seen. They were so at ease in each other's company that you would have thought they were sisters, rather than pairs of cousins who only saw each other a couple of times each year.
"Laura came over to me and said quietly 'Have you seen the hill up there Uncle Mike?'
I turned to see Scafell* covered in dark cloud, but with a patch of brilliant sunlight racing up its shoulder.
"Grabbing my camera, we both ran to get a clearer view, just in time to see the sun light up one of the lower crags. I snatched a photo as the light disappeared, hoping that I had caught the moment.
"The perfect end to a perfect day".

... not very high by world standards ... but it is very old! ]

Right after lifting himself straight up on his legs, the cock pheasant crowed and immediately followed his call with a vigorous flapping of wings.

Gentlemen, I know your cocks are already throbbing when she exposes her sole. So, do what needs to be done!
A cock stonechat seen in a field on Aggs Hill close to the Cotswold Way public footpath on a very wet summer day. This bird was calling to his mate who was in a bush on the edge of a field the other side of the footpath.
