Training your dog was a book written by Barbara Woodhouse.
Barbara Woodhouse was a British dog trainer known for her television series “Training Dogs the Woodhouse Way” on BBC in 1980 across the UK as well as the USA. She was a household name in the UK for this TV series for her quirky personality and no-nonsense method of training the dogs and their owners. She was also known as an author and horse trainer.

well, it is time for me to say, all rights reserved ! I'm proud of and I adore this picture because the atmosphere of the lake made me feel free and very happy , which is not exactly my every day sensation !
I waited patiently for the boat to be right in the middle of the light and got a big satisfaction , I even guessed the right combination of aperture and time.
Took my life into my own hands shooting this in the middle of a busy intersection. Oh, wait....
No, no, listen. It usually is a REALLY BUSY street! I promise! Still, somehow, at the precise moment I took this shot on Sunday afternoon, the Wells Street Bridge was strangely quiet and empty.
The scissor arches, which often visitors believe to be later, modern additions were constructed from 1338-48 as an engineering solution to a very real problem.
By 1313 a high tower topped by a lead covered wooden spire had been constructed but as the foundations were not stable large cracks began to appear in the tower structure.
In fear of a total collapse, several attempts at internal strengthening and buttressing were made, until the famous ‘scissor arches’ were put in place by master mason William Joy as a final solution.
Bicycles
Although I don’t ride a bike, well not at least for 40 odd years, there is something satisfying about a bike. It’s solid, reliable (mainly), an art form, it has a place in our society, an environmental champion, a pleasure and a serious competitor.
There aren’t many things in life that fulfil those criteria, there will always be those detractors but for me the bike is a hero.

unrestricted satisfaction of all desires is not conductive to well-being, nor is it the way to happiness or even to maximum pleasure
Erich Fromm
"...Stay, don't leave me
The stars can't for your sign
Don't signal now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
Goodnight, travel well"

Well, at least about a third of it... 😁
The Steinhuder Meer in Lower Saxony is the largest lake in northwestern Germany with an area of 29.12 km² (that's 11.24 sq mi for the "imperialists"). It is a shallow lake with a maximum depth of 2.9 metres, formed after the recession of the glaciers of the Weichselian glaciation, about 14,000 years ago.

Seen from my garage window. I left a lot of my fallen apples on the ground this year and have had several grateful deer enjoying them.
When Yuki gets groomed they add a scarf around her neck to come home with. We were just fooling around a bit. She plays the part of a bandit quite well.

I liked the yellow barrels in the forefront, the colour was striking. Beautiful Wells harbour stretches behind, with a yacht, birds and marshes. The barrels were a temporary fence - gone next time I was there. HFF!
This is the ‘working’ part of Wells-Next-The Sea. Less busy than the harbour, it’s a peaceful spot. The estuary is bathing in the late afternoon sunshine. This is one of the first photographs I took with the new lens for the Canon. The lens still feels like a stranger and I am in the early stages of building a relationship with it.
Montezuma Well, a detached unit of Montezuma Castle National Monument, is a natural limestone sinkhole near the town of Lake Montezuma, Arizona, through which some 1,500,000 US gallons of water emerge each day from an underground spring. It is located about 11 miles northeast of Montezuma Castle. Wikipedia

How deep;
Measurements made on previous dives showed the west vent as deep 82 feet (137 feet overall) and the east vent at 40 feet (95 feet overall). The National Park Service dive team also lowered a camera some 40 feet into the west vent and discovered it was a continual column of fluidized sand for the entire depth.Sep 28, 2021

Well I hope everyone in the UK has enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend and all this glorious weather we are having. And to my international Flickr friends, hope you had a lovely weekend too :)
The garden is now starting to look like a spring garden and the Lilly of the Valley in the front garden is looking lush! Only planted a few bulbs about 5 years ago, but it clearly likes its positive as is thriving nicely :)
Hope everyone has a good week ahead.

Although this gorgeous lady was well aware of my presence, she was certainly not bothered by me at all. She was more than happy to pose for several minutes, before providing me with a close up flying display - see previous post.

A great photographic day spent at British Wildlife Centre with the Owls
Thanks Meg you are a great Keeper and managed us photographers and the Owls so well, an enjoyable day was had by us all
Whilst walking the GR 5 between Spa and Stavelot I was unexpectedly greeted by two really friendly and incredibly beautiful dogs in a meadow!
This was a day when we watched a storm roll over Wells. An ever-changing sky - blue, then pink, then grey - accompanied by torrential rain and brilliant sunshine.

This lady elk had plenty to eat during the summer of '22. That's a good thing as it increases her odds of surviving the lean times ahead through winter in the Rocky Mountains.
This shot was made during the elk rut in Rocky Mountain National Park. A bull and his harem had just crossed the open meadow and this cow was bringing up the rear.
Installation of «Well and Truly » by Roni Horn ...
Two friends together in France
Thanks to the close involvement of Roni Horn, this exhibition provides the opportunity for this power and these affinities to be seen and felt for the first time in France. In the words of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, on the subject of his friend’s art, it gives an unprecedented outline of a “new landscape, a possible horizon”, and “a place of the imagination”, and in those of Roni Horn, “a field of waves” that is continually reworked.
Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn, both conceptual artists, established radical practices with often minimalistic means that contributed to a redefinition of the exhibition as a medium for including the viewer and had a major influence on an entire generation of younger artists. They strive to grasp the inexpressible, the immeas-urable.
For them, what comprises the “œuvre” is the tension produced with the spectator in an artistic experiment linking the artist, spectator, and the object.
This exhibition emphasises the notions of dou-bling up, duality, complexities within repetition, and identity at work in the artists’ respective artistic practices.

Utah Railway’s former Southern Pacific SD45s No. 9144, 9146, 9148, and 9147 pull a Wattis Plateau coal train around the Barry Curve west of Payson, Utah the afternoon of Oct. 9, 1987. These well-worn 45s were leased by the Utah Railway from Helm Financial for five years, pictured on a run through from Provo to Intermountain Power on Union Pacific’s Provo Subdivision.
…….Thought I’d slip in another Cornish gem, Mevagissey - one of the first places we towed our caravan too, I’m guessing at about 1977 and it looks here pretty much as it did back then! Hope the week is going well, stay local & locked down to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏
