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!!
Marimurtra, Blanes, La Selva, Girona, España.
Situado en Blanes, en la Costa Brava, el JardÃn Botánico Marimurtra es uno de los jardines más bellos de la orilla del Mediterráneo. Sobre unos acantilados que bordean el mar se pueden contemplar algunas de las panorámicas más espectaculares de la costa y conocer más de quatro mil especies vegetales, la mayorÃa exóticas, asà como un buen número de ejemplares extraordinarios por su edad o dimensiones.
Marimurtra es la obra de un hombre apasionado por la naturaleza. Carl Faust (Hadamar, Alemania 1874-Blanes 1952), empresario establecido en Cataluña, dedicó su ilusión, su esfuerzo y todo su patrimonio a la realización de su sueño, el JardÃn Botánico Marimurtra.

Mist, sadly departed this summer gone, striking a pose ... she was good at that .. ontop of Whiteside
at Hidcote Manor Gardens. Still in their winter dullness, but very soon now, they will transform, between the steps and the nearest hedges, into a glorious magnificence of red plants!
Border Pacific's only engine, an ex-ATSF GP7u numbered 98, is tied down at the RVSC interchange in Mission, Texas. Formed in 1984, the BOP operates 32 miles of ex-MoPac trackage between Mission and Rio Grande City along the Rio Grande River in South Texas.
Doing every bit of track speed, BNSF's Akron - McCook road switcher approaches the Colorado-Nebraska state line.

Picture taken by me in Crawford South Lanarkshire 27/12/2012. With a Lumix G1.Cheviots are extremely hardy and can withstand harsh winters and graze well over hilly pastures. They were bred to look after themselves.
Recognized as early as 1372, the breed is reported to have developed from sheep that swam ashore from shipwrecked Spanish ships that fled northward after the defeat of the Armada.
Paddy's mum now departed a few years back. A lovely gentle soul but top dog in the pack and didn't stand any nonsense from them or indeed any other dog that tried .. she was boss! :)
