Note how he instinctively angles out into the current to intercept the ball with minimum effort.
It was a shame that I no longer was hunting when we got him, because he would have made a great duck dog.
Retrieving loaded propane cars from the Bennington Branch, Lake Paran, North Bennington. January 6, 2021
I didn't know yesterday was Puppy Day so here's my belated contribution. This is our Noah showing us he had what it took to live up to the breed — golden retriever. He loves to bring things over to us. This good buddy will be 8 on November 20.

3D red/cyan anaglyph created from glass plate stereograph at Library of Congress - Prints & Photographs Online Catalog: www.loc.gov/pictures/
LOC Title: Antietam, Md. Confederate dead in a ditch on the right wing used as a rifle pit
Date: Sept. 19, 1862
Photographer: Alexander Gardner (1821-1882)
Link to glass plate: www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2018666241/
Notes: I started restoration work on this stereograph two years ago. The glass plate negatives at the Library of Congress are in bad shape and apparently have been so since their creation, based on Civil War era prints that I've seen. Both the left and right sides are plastered with black and white spots and blotches, and both are missing large sections of the emulsion, which can be seen by alternating the closing of your left and right eyes, while wearing your red cyan 3D glasses. My working photoshop file has about a thousand layers and adjustment levels, in an attempt to restore some clarity and retrieve the lost 3D due to the missing sections. See my two previous flickr postings for information about what is pictured here.

These blossoms have a little more color to them, but they should be a bright red, not pink. Nevertheless, there must be enough nectar in these blossoms for the bees to be swarming all over them to retrieve as much as they can. This photo was taken shortly after I shot the previous photo.
outtake from yesterday's shoot.
lately it has been hard to retrieve ideas from my head... prob because every cell of my body is busy missing a part of my life that is now gone.
Joshua is in the center of this picture, taken after he and his Chip Camp colleagues had shot their paper rockets. Joshua's rocket sailed over the entire lawn and landed in a tree on the far side.

a bit of a boring shot, but I ran out of time (packing has begun) or interesting options ... I do have a "Saxon the smartypants" story that goes with this location though so although it's a few weeks old now, here goes:
so one day retrieving here Saxon ran one way while I threw the ball the other, he didn't see where it had gone, so I got him searching "find it"!
When I do that I try not to help or move too much but I do point which of course he isn't so good at following, you know only goes so far away etc. but he actively searches well, just not everywhere ...
Multiple attempts around the park and he couldn't find it, I could see it sort of in the hollow of the ground about half way between where I was and the tree/path on the other side so I gave his nose the benefit of the doubt.
He was getting tired so I called him in to me and directed him straight across the park with a "go" ... often times "go" pre-empts "clock" or "count" which means go around an object (usually a tree) either clockwise or counter-clockwise so he honed in on one of the trees across the other side and swung around it with gusto ... "surely I'll get my ball reward with this" he was thinking ... he came running back to me in hope slowing up when he realized no ball was to be presented ... I was hoping on the trips from me to the treeline he would catch the scent of the ball and would have found it, but he didn't
so I send him out again "go" and he's a little off center for running right over the top of the ball so I throw in another command "over" which means move to his left, which he followed well but spied another tree that he thought I must mean for him to "around" ... he runs around it and starts coming back to me in hope of the ball again, this time a lot closer to running right over the top of the ball, I thought for sure he'd catch the scent of it, but again he didn't ...
so I send him away again "go" then again "over" to get him in a nice position, he spies the tree and heads for it, this time I pull him up back towards me (not sure what words I'm using, maybe just his name), and just as he's about to run right over the ball again "sit" ... I wait as the ball is maybe a foot or two right in front of him, he still doesn't catch the scent so "forward" (not a command I usually use but something to get him up out of the sit and moving slowly, he's already heading my way anyway) then a quick "down" and the ball is literally 2 inches from his nose ... he finally catches the scent of it ... YAH!!!!
anyway not sure how easy that is to read and understand as far as stories go, but I enjoyed watching him follow my directions so well to achieve our goal in real circumstances, he's such a smart cookie :-)
The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft lifts off on from Space Launch Complex 41 on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2016 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. OSIRIS-REx will be the first U.S. mission to sample an asteroid, retrieve at least two ounces of surface material and return it to Earth for study. The asteroid, Bennu, may hold clues to the origin of the solar system and the source of water and organic molecules found on Earth. Photo Credit: (NASA/Joel Kowsky)
Delta the Chessie as she makes the transition from leaping to swimming. Fortunately she is only fetching her ball. Any waterfowl in the vicinity would die of fright!

I chain up all four of the idiots that tried to kill me tonight. Once I did that, I let the cops outside know that it's safe to come in and retrieve them.
As they leave, I remember that Heatwave's helmet was still in there. They'll need that to contain him in his cell.
I walk into the room that his helmet was in and I'm confronted by a man in a yellow suit.
"Barry Allen. So nice to finally meet you."
"Who are you?"
"Museum plaques call me Reverse Flash, but I prefer the name, Professor Zoom..."

When Benni gets tired of retrieving her lacrosse ball, she just won't give it back so we can't throw it again. Here she's on the school field which does have green grass, all irrigated with recycled water
She has a lacrosse ball because it's so hard she can't eat it. She can eat tennis balls with ease and Chuck-it balls with a little more work.
The problem with throwing the lacrosse balls is that they're so heavy I'm always scared it'll come down on her and hurt. So I throw it low and try to trick her. Not easy!
The ship also carries an ambulance shuttle with which the paramedics can go out and retrieve potential patients.
he's pretty good, and will swim out to get it too if he feels like it and with some encouragement all by himself :-)
I noticed honeybees foraging in the hedges where I work so I thought I would put this box in the bushes and see If it might catch a swarm. I had caught a couple more swarms at home over the weekend and was out of empty boxes so on a Monday I went to retrieve this box from the hedge and to my surprise found it full of bees.
