Blue markings are not natural. I have been told this may have been applied as part of a catch and release programme.

Auntie Elk, pausing for a moment in the midst of digging her snow hole!

Charlie, wondering what are you doing and is that camera edible.

This is my daughters dog and it was great to be able to catch up with them after lockdown.

Little Bracken, 17 years old, pretty much deaf, very poor sight, but still possessed of attitude and just enough teeth.

Koda at Rufford Country Park thinking of squatting..

Mist with a rather comical look at the end of a winter sea shaking session .. almost as though she's been caught in the act lol

Between Wangaratta and Glenrowan, CLP12, GM27, S311 and CLF1 get stuck into the grade with a load of grain from The Rock in NSW bound for Appleton Dock.

After an aborted mission at Tocumwal, I quickly scooted across to the North-East to try and intercept this train coming out of NSW. Victoria and NSW dropped border control measures at the end of October due to both states achieving an extremely high level of Covid-19 vaccination quickly, bringing their various outbreaks under control. Pretty much all restrictions are dropped, or are close to being dropped, in both states. The ACT and SA are now part of the same bubble, with QLD, NT and TAS joining by 20 December. WA is holding off until next year due to having slow vaccine uptake and large vulnerable remote communities.

I shot the photo 3 years ago. Google + reminded me of its existence lately and I liked it.

Mist and Paddy on a munro top beyond Cairn a Claise during a brief window in the mist ... obviously wondering where next?

as a symbol of freedom and peace there is standing a playground at the old border between Austria and Italy with this border-post barrier, 1900m above sea level. This area is a very popular ski resort where you can have fun between these 2 countries.

Two Shepherds in one great mix

Border Collie puppies and their Mum

Yesterday this little black pearl joined my family. She is called Zireael. She is my another Border Collie, as they get addictive! Zira is my new muse and inspiration ♥ Ciri and Zira are related, sharing same Father and Grandfather - Sorin.

Definitely Dreaming 'blurred' theme. (21/52)

I finally put my Lensbaby on the camera and went for a short walk without the dogs - essential when I have to use manual focus.

Thanks for the help with the ID of this butterfly. It was hanging out with the Common Buckeyes and Painted Ladies and is about the same size. I'm in Johnson Co., Kansas, U.S.A.
