The expressions on the dog's faces are hilarious. One is asking, "How much farther?" - while the other dog is saying, "I'm not going, I'm pooped." (Notice that he lost a bootie somewhere along the way.)
The Copper Basin 300 Sled Dog race will begin next weekend. This year we will have several well-known mushers participating in a field of 37, so it should be fun to follow. If you are interested - I've included a link below.
HSS!

Pat and Patch stepped a little to one side while Gwendolyn ducked under the table, content with all their dolls.
Patch: (Whispering) I know Santa is making a list, so we better be nice, but I thought it was going to be just the two of us.
Pat: (Whispering) Oh, and he's checking it twice says my sister. Well so did I, but mummy thought it was a grand idea to invite more girls. Since we're new to the neighbourhood.
Patch: More girls? Perhaps Pepper? Or Tutti! *Excited*
Pat: No, they were engaged in Christmas carol rehearsals.
Patch: So who...?

An old instrument for measuring distance on a map. I found this when I was cleaning out my father's desk. It still works - not broken, but old. A memory of my father.
Taken for Macro Mondays- "Broken/old but still loved" and 52 Weeks of Pix 2011 - "Something old".
Quante strade deve percorrere un uomo
Prima di essere chiamato uomo?
Quanti mari deve navigare una colomba bianca
Prima che dorma sulla sabbia?
Sì, e quante volte devono volare le palle di cannone
Prima che siano proibite per sempre?
La risposta, amico mio, sta soffiando nel vento
La risposta sta soffiando nel vento
Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

We have a special challenge at We’re Here! today: “It's a Saturday ... so today, let's spend a few minutes (or hours) showing off one of your favorite special photographic techniques. And, in your photo's description, explain what you did to get the intended (?!) result.”
Our images are then to be foisted upon our unsuspecting host What’s Your Technique?
I love creating images made out of several blended photographs. The elements come from my archives, recent or old, and are usually from several separate locations and different times. It’s great fun to enter these in contests when they fit the theme – and the contest themes themselves often serve as the inspiration for the image created. I don’t often “win” the contests, but that is hardly the point. Just as with the “We’re Here” themes, it is the challenge and creative work that causes me to spend my precious hours doing this. I have been wanting to create a new texture for a while now. These take me more time than seems reasonable – so today’s the day!
I combined a snap of my daughter’s kitchen wall in afternoon sunlight and a sandstone wall at a Napa winery, ran the result through Manga 5 Art Studio for some spray painting, and tortured that in “Paint Shop Pro” with blurring, layering, contrast adjustments, and a software-generated “straw texture”, until I couldn’t possibly remember how to do it again. Then I blended several different layers of it in different opacities and saturations with my subject – taken at the Idaho Springs Heritage Museum. The originals of my new texture and the owl shot are in the comment box below. I altered the dates to the past so they will “fall out” of my current photostream.
And, voilà! I have to fess up to falling into the “a few hours” category of Hereio today! I don’t have a contest in mind, but Spotlight Your Best has a “Bird Life” theme this month, so I will put it there.
~ John Muir
John Muir is the individual most responsible for the creation of Yosemite National Park. The Scottish-born American naturalist convinced President Teddy Roosevelt to protect Yosemite (including Yosemite Valley), Sequoia, Grand Canyon and Mt. Rainier as National Parks. Marvelling at the beauty of Yosemite Falls and its surroundings you realize how thankful you have to be.
For jermai: thank you very much, oliver .. :-)

(Thanks to adele for the beautiful texture :-)
I could say this was taken out in the wilds somewhere , but no - this is Greater London and in Bushy Park ( one of the Royal Parks ) . These two were part of a larger group taking time out to head to a waterway across the open fern covered ground .
As for the scenario with these two with one sticking it's tongue out at the other !!
Y101 had a rail roll over under their train Sunday morning, as they came off the Holliston Industrial Track back onto the main. Murphy's Law dictated that this happened in downtown Framingham with the train of placarded hazmat cars strung across normally-busy Waverly Street; fortunately, everything stayed upright and they had it cleared up in time for the Monday morning commute.
How Tomorrow Moves, indeed.
How low should you go for a picture ? :)

Jusqu'où il faut aller pour une photo ? :)
Petit chevalier
How long did I wander around this massive mansion? I had been at it for days it seemed like, but there was so much to explore and mysteries to unlock. What was the secret my Great Aunt wanted me to find out? Was the secret going to make me walk back out and regret I had ever heard of Lady Lenore Lockhart and this mansion?
But look how good money looks on me...
Houghton House from How End, Bedfordshire, 28 Jul 2020
I found an old photo of the view up to Houghton House on the Greensand Ridge with straw bales in the foreground.
I decided to try to work out whether I could get a similar shot this summer.
I'd seen this barley field earlier in the summer and thought that this was the location. Even though the crop had not been harvested the light was nice!
I later realised that this is not the same field. So the search continues.
I've put a copy of the old photo on my phone so I can check next time!
