Dolly went on her first ever holiday to the Lake District. She jumped into the lake to fetch her ball without any hesitation. She is such a confident happy doggy. Proud mummy 🐾

**********************************
In the 1800s, New York City encountered an infrastructure problem it had not anticipated: far more tall (i.e., more than 6 stories high) buildings were being constructed than city planners had anticipated. The city's water-supply system, which brings water from reservoirs in upstate New York and relies on gravity to deliver the water, couldn't generate enough pressure to force the water up to the high floors. So the city mandated that any such "tall" buildings would have to have a water tower on the roof; water was pumped up to the tower, and gravity could once again be used to bring it down to the various floors below, with sufficient pressure to keep the residents happy.
At the beginning of this decade, it was estimated that there were 10,000 water towers in the city, with over 100 built or replaced each year. Most of them are built of wood, because wood resists temperature changes and corrosion. The towers are designed to hold a day's supply of water for the building, and more water is pumped up each night.
Like most New Yorkers, I've unconsciously accepted the existence of these water towers in the same way I accept the existence of subways, yellow taxi cabs, and skyscrapers. But the pervasive nature of water towers struck me for the first time just yesterday, when I sat out on the terrace of my Manhattan apartment building, eating breakfast on a cool, quiet summer morning — and realized that I could see at least a dozen water towers without even moving. Big ones, small ones, some standing alone, others clustered closely together with towers on adjacent buildings; it seemed that they were everywhere. For the first time, I appreciated the enormity of the statistic: ten thousand water towers in this city of mine.
To illustrate the point, I fetched my camera and tripod, set it up in a corner of the terrace, and took these shots. Though I swiveled the tripod around roughly 180 degrees, I never had to move it to see all of the water towers you see here; and if I could have rotated it a full 360 degrees (which might have been possible up on the roof), I'm sure I could have found a dozen more.

This pooch was pooped by the time I saw it. Seems to have run the whole length of the beach and was no longer interested in anything other than going home in a nice warm car!
Children fetch water from a makeshift faucet, which will be used to wash their hands or flush the toilet in school. They stand to benefit from an ILO Japan Water and Sanitation Project that aims to provide safe and clean water as well as promote peace and create decent work in conflict-affected areas of the Philippines.

Luna likes nothing more than to play games - fetch is her favourite. She loves playing with sticks, indoors or outdoors. She like most Tonks will play until your arm drops off....
This was a feather stick, she seems to prefer them when she has destroyed them of all their feathery fluffiness...funny little angel.

17 of 365 - This breakwater and navigation light are on the Michigan side of Lake Michigan, Grand Haven I think. It is parallel to the pier with the lighthouse on it. Both jut out into the lake as they protect boats at the entrance to the harbor. Though taken last summer, the water that day very rough & crashed into the northern side of the breakwater.
This image is not as it seems though because I’ve been learning about using Photoshop layering. Took an image of Sheila bounding through the woods (she does a perfect dolphin imitation while romping on her walks) and layered it over the breakwater image. Then I copied droplets from the original breakwater image where they were originally located and layered them over Sheila to make it seem more realistic.
Getting correct exposure in the snow is near impossible, never mind with a black dog and white snow. I got caught out with my camera in auto-bracket mode when this fine dog came by. I'm amazed anything came out!
From my Ponce Inlet set.
Lots of folks bring their dogs to the inlet because it's one of the few places where you're allowed to take pets in Daytona. Ponce Inlet is actually a couple of towns south of Daytona proper, and a whole world more delightful! This is one place where you still can get away from the crowds and find some peace. I thoroughly enjoyed the two days i spent wandering there to bring you these shots!
