Yes, I have a king-size bed. And yes, this is how we sleep. Dusty is by far the most physically affectionate dog I have ever known. He's a hugger, a cuddler, a pillow hog.
Notice how I am pushed up against the wall. Dash, bless his heart, is on the far side of the bed blissfully happy to be left alone.
Yes, my beard's a mess and I'm a bit out of focus. But, as Dusty would point out, HE should be the focus. And, he is.
Affectionately known as "The chick on a stick" The Victory Column (German: Siegessäule, from Sieg ‘victory’ + Säule ‘column’) is a monument in Berlin, Germany. Designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Second Schleswig War, by the time it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873, Prussia had also defeated Austria and its German allies in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), giving the statue a new purpose. Different from the original plans, these later victories in the unification wars inspired the addition of the bronze sculpture of Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, 8.3 metres (27 ft) high, designed by Friedrich Drake.
In this month of August I am celebrating my 10 years at Flickr.
It has been a unique and charming experience, in which I am learning a lot from very special people, and I believe I have made many friends who are fundamental in this learning.
I thank you so much for the support these dear people offer me, always using such kind and encouraging words.
To all of them without exception I dedicate these recently taken photos, in a Winter full of flowers and colors.
Hoping you like the photos, I send affectionate greetings.

The Maine Coon is the largest of all house cats, growing up to an impressive 40 inches. They’re often called “gentle giants” because they’re some of the friendliest, most affectionate of all cat breeds. For this reason, they’re highly sought after, which makes them very expensive compared to other breeds.
This is affectionately called The Nightmare Tudor due to it's heavily accentuated Gothic lines.
The Nathan G. Moore House by Frank Lloyd Wright was completely redesigned and rebuilt in 1923 after the original Wright designed, more conventional Tudor style house was severely damaged by an electrical fire.
Though clearly based on the Tudor style, Wright also drew on Mayan elements, his Textile Block concept, and the organic design concepts of Louis Sullivan.
Lots more good info about the house on wikipedia and www.steinerag.com/flw/Periodicals/InlandArch&NewsRec.htm
An amazing and unique house!

Happy Caturday!!!
This image was a dream come true for me. You know how you see an encounter on a nature show and you say to yourself, what I wouldn’t give to see something like that out in the real world. Well, what I dreamed of seeing was a cheetah jumping on the roof of a jeep, and in the Masai Mara, it came true.
Cheetahs are caring, affectionate and dedicated mothers. They spend a long time caring for their cubs. Cubs typically stay with their mothers for one and a half to two years.
The cheetah originated over 4 million years ago. That’s long before any of the other big cats of today. They used to be found in North America when they crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia to the Americas before becoming extinct.
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world, reaching speeds of up to 113km/h. They can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3 seconds. When running, cheetahs use their tail to steer, like a rudder for a boat.Cheetahs are the only large cat that can turn in mid-air while sprinting.
Cheetahs do not roar like lions, however they do have a range of other meaningful vocalisations such as purring, growling and a variety of contact calls which resemble bird-like chirping sounds. -Wikipedia
VIA 15 races across the East Mines trestle back on January 30, 2022 with 6414 & 6427 for power, as the fresh powder swirls around the Budd cars. Just out of frame to the right of the bridge, (strategically hidden) are the Renaissance cars, more affectionately known as the green slime, making up the now common hybrid Oceans. At this particular time I believe VIA was only running one or two round trips per week, however now things are back to as normal as they can be with the more recent three round trips weekly.
I'm going to conclude this series from England for now as I shall be taking a break from Flickr.

Tram 28 is the most famous tram route of Lisbon, and one of the best ways to see the city. From this picturesque transport you may appreciate historical and cultural heritage of what Lisbon has to offer, from the Estrela Basilica, Camões to the Castle of S. Jorge in the medieval quarter, among other POI. "Yellow" as it is affectionately called, is among a group of trams originally imported from the U.S. in 1901 with the purpose of replacing the old horse drawn carriages, which were the means of city transport at the time.
Melbourne's Yarra River is affectionately know as the upside down river due to it's permanently brown appearance.
The much maligned muddy colour of the Yarra is caused by the easily eroded clay soils of the water catchment. The water was clear at the time of European settlement, but intensive land clearing and development since the mid 1800s has resulted in the presence of microscopic clay particles. The particles are kept suspended by the turbulence in some parts of the middle and lower sections of the river. When the river water combines with marine salts as it enters Port Phillip, the suspended particles clump together and sink. The muddy appearance does not indicate an unclean waterway. In fact, the Yarra is probably one of the cleanest capital city rivers in the world. Since the major clean-up campaigns of the late 1970s and 1980s, the river has again become home to several species of fish and even the occasional dolphin.

The tender moments of smooches and nuzzles between a young moose calf and its mother are vital to their development. After engaging in some spirited head-butting, the calf demonstrates its strong bond through sweet nuzzles and affectionate smooches with its mom. This morning, they graced our backyard once again, filling me with joy upon seeing them. There's something truly special about watching the calf frolic and play as its mother grazes peacefully, making for a heartwarming start to the day.
I take care of stray cats, please don't abandon them anymore or throw them out the window, these poor animals are part of the family, they suffer, they feel hunger, thirst, pain and loneliness, they are faithful to us until death. I am not asking for charity for them but a click or a kind word can mark the history of your solidarity ! Look at them how beautiful and affectionate they are. Thanks for them !
Marina City, affectionately known as "the corn cob", is a mixed-use residential-commercial building complex in Chicago, Illinois, United States, North America, designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg. The multi-building complex opened between 1963 and 1967 and occupies almost an entire city block on State Street on the north bank of the Chicago River on the Near North Side, directly across from the Loop. Portions of the complex were designated a Chicago Landmark in 2016.
The complex consists of two 587-foot (179 m), 65-story apartment towers, opened in 1963, which include physical plant penthouses. It also includes a 10-story office building (now a hotel) opened in 1964, and a saddle-shaped auditorium building originally used as a cinema. The four buildings, access driveways, and a small plaza that originally included an ice rink are built on a raised platform next to the Chicago River. Beneath the platform, at river level, is a small marina for pleasure craft, giving the structures their name.
