Zum Bild der Schafherde in der Landschaft gehören die Hütehunde, treue Helfer des Schäfers, ohne deren unermüdliche Arbeit in vielen Fällen die Haltung der Schafe nicht möglich wäre.
The weather is supposed to be particularly hot today. Even if I have absolutely no problem with high temperatures, after all it's summer and this is something what you can notice, let's go back to a slightly cooler day in May.
This photo was taken on a short morning walk in the fields not far from my house. Actually, I walked to this point to have a clear view of the rape field (I have already shown the picture of what happened there).
But then, when I turned around to walk back to the path, I saw this and was amazed.
As you can see, looking back is sometimes just as important as looking forward. And that doesn't just apply to photography.
Heute soll das Wetter ja besonders heiß werden. Auch wenn ich mit hohen Temperaturen absolut kein Problem habe, schließlich ist ja Sommer und das darf man ruhig auch merken, gehe ich mal zurück zu einem etwas kühleren Tag im Mai.
Dieses Foto entstand bei einem kurzen Morgenspaziergang in den Feldern unweit meines Hauses. Eigentlich bin ich an diese Stelle gelaufen, um freie Sicht auf das Rapsfeld zu haben (das Bild, was da enstanden ist, hab ich schon hier gezeigt).
Doch dann, als ich mich umgedreht hatte, um zum Weg zurück zu laufen, habe ich das hier gesehen und war begeistert.
Wie Ihr seht ist der Blick zurück manchmal genau so wichtig, wie der nach vorn. Und das gilt nicht nur beim Fotografieren.

This site was once a bustling international border crossing between the US/Minnesota and Canada. It was also the northern terminus of U.S. Highway 61. The crossing and the highway were both moved in 1963, closer to Lake Superior and Grand Portage. The distant road you see is the old highway on the Canadian side.
This abandoned site might seem like a good place to party or do things that might be a little questionable, but watch out - the trees here have eyes and ears. If you look around carefully, you can see that you're being monitored by cameras and who knows what else.
If you'd like more information about this highway buff's gem, check out the following web page: Old Border Road (Old Hwy 61).
This picture is taken in the Netherlands, but this fence is in Germany. The stones are the border between them.
Running along the Colo/New Mexico border is loaded symbol 139KK050 to Houston Power & Light at Smithers Lake, Texas.
Trying to disguise the fact it's a bit of rubbish photo with a big border 😅 Yep, still can't do woodland photography, but it's Treesday and a BH week! Happy short week workers of the world. Well, UK.
Gracias a todos por vuestra visita, amables comentarios y fav/ Thank you all for your visit, kind comments and fav.
Border collie puppies for sale at an agricultural show in western Ireland. Momma was on hand to demonstrate her herding skills.... with ducks. I guess if you can herd a duck, you can herd a sheep....?
At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

Another 'cycle to Scotland' view of the Union Chain bridge looking into Scotland.
With yesterday's announcement that the Scottish National Party is seeking to hold another referendum on whether Scotland should secede from the United Kingdom, these posts may be future border posts (& I would need my passport to cycle over?!).
Just a few miles south of the US-Canadian border, CN 323 rolls north toward Montreal at West Swanton, one of the last communities they will pass before entering Quebec.
Time out on a fellside, both feeling quite content, ... especially Paddy! ... little did he know we were staying the night there sans tent and just a sleeping bag for me .. he spent an open eyed night sheep guarding:)
Paddy never has really liked the wet stuff and treats it with great suspicion, when he has to, he'll walk slowly with disdain shaking each paw as he takes it out of the water, as it gets deeper (to his collywobbles) theres always a perceptual pause :) .... his best ploy is to avoid it all together!!
