We stayed at a dog-friendly hotel in Flagstaff over the weekend, Jasper claiming his bed immediately. He does seem to enjoy hotel stays. Funny how people react to Jasper. There was a large busload of teenagers staying at the same hotel. They were all waiting for something outside the hotel when we rounded the corner after our evening walk. We hear a chorus of girls going "AwwwWWW" when they saw Jasper. It was as if they rehearsed or something - in perfect unison and identical pitch. He got lots of pets on the head.
Almost open, ready to face the world.
A fast growing and bushy plant to 2 metres tall, useful for informal hedging and screening, as well as for container growing. It has large mid pink lightly perfumed flowers throughout spring and summer. The flower petals are edible. Foliage is lightly furry. Waterwise and a low maintenance plant. Frost tolerant and can be used for coastal sites.

GM43 and GM37 have continued on as regular runners on rail trains for ARTC while the remaining units have now been in storage for almost 2 years now
I saw a family of magpies having a squabble, probably play-fighting. I wonder what the singing was about.
We were reunited with Jasper last night after our week-long Christmas holiday trip to the frigid north visiting family. Jasper was much more in the mood to play than to stop and take photos. But a quick pause at sunset seemed a reasonable thing to ask.

Saturday hike with Flickr visitors Jayme and Dash (Jayme is the human, Dash is the black-tri Aussie in front). Jasper there next to Jayme. Dash seemed to enjoy the adventure along with the rest of us. He's a sweet and very handsome little wiggle-butt.
Yesterday being Jasper's Gotcha Day, I was looking through some of the 43,000+ photos I have of him. This one made me laugh. He was just over a year old here. I love the look in his eyes and the angle of his back feet. And Pearl, the black-tri Aussie's spacey look seems so incongruous with the rest of the scene. Don't remember gray dog's name.

G514 was added at the back as usual for banking duties.
I'm lucky to have two companions on our hikes. The human is Jean, my wife. The canine is of course Jasper.
Not the most clever title ever written, but it seemed apt enough 😁. I always walk Jasper alone on Sunday mornings. And his pre-dawn Sunday morning walks have reduced from 3-4 miles (~5+ km) to about 1 mile (1.6 km) over the years. But the weather the past month has been just fabulous. So for about the last month or two, after getting home from the gym, I ask him if he wants to go for another walk. He jumps to his feet, affirming his desire. He's been taking me on about an extra 2 mile (~3.2 km) walk. I think he's turning into a "not a morning dog". At 5AM, he's like, "lets keep this short so I can get the rest of my breakfast and a little more shuteye." But at 9AM, he's like, "Chip chop, chap! We got some walking to do." A very long way to tell you that I often bring my camera with on the second Sunday morning walk, and this was from last Sunday.

Lacking my usual ball-tossing assistant (aka: Jean, my wife) last weekend, I decided to shoot blind. Jasper is fond of taunting us with his ball. He wants us to grab and tug or chase. His joy at that activity is so self-evident. Hand's-eye view of the taunt.
"Chickens aren't the only ones.
There's no more to discuss.
Everything that lays an egg is OVIPAROUS!" (from the book "Chickens Aren't the Only Ones" which I used to read to the kids at work at Easter.)
Reworked my copy of LEGO Major's excellent CMP. She went on a 33 piece diet. :) We have both of the long tan plates needed for the bottom of the frame. So I prob will be rebuilding this one again IRL. Austin watched a show on the Military history channel about Aussie and Anzac forces during WW2, so now he wants a few AFVs for them. He also asked about the Gurkhas and if they had any vehicles. :)
A studio 26 assignment for creative thinking. Final (and only) submission. I was given three random words by another group member. My words were carrot, hair scrunchy and empty picture frame. Not sure I totally nailed it, but this is what popped into my little brain today. And it contains all the elements. Jasper was all bored with the idea, so I asked my wife Jean to come into the room. He totally perked up. Sweet boy loves his mama.
Had a couple of other ideas to try but time slipped away (We get a lot of guests this time of year in Arizona)
Funny, whenever I pull out the backdrop in my home office, Jasper hears the sound and runs into the room and sits on the backdrop, like "I know what you're going to ask me to do. Where do you want me to sit/stand/lay?"

A 1970 XY Ford Falcon parked near a toll checkpoint . The car appears like it has been there for some time with that dust covering . At least the tyres are pumped up and it was still registered with Thai plates .

Last night we were sitting on the couch after dinner and Jasper just came up to me a stared, like, what's next? I said, "You know what, Jasper?" [his head tilts] "I think you left the OddBall upstairs." I get a startled look that says, "oh my God, you're right". BADUMPBADumpbadump [as he runs upstairs to get it]
