There were actually four of these beautiful dogs. Very hard to get all of them in the frame at once!

It's August 24, 2007, and I'm driving back to Saint Paul, MN from visiting my mom in Ontario. On the way south from Sauble Beach I drove into a truly horrific rainstorm, one of the most violent I've ever experienced. I thought I was sure to go off the road or have the car cut out at any moment ... but somehow neither happened, and I made it to the border.
Of course, like a complete nitwit I had my camera at hand and I would occasionally snap pictures! While driving through a maelstrom! This is the last in that set; a rainy-windshield view of the Sarnia side of the US-American border as I approached it. I decided at this point that I should finally put the camera down. I can handle Mother Nature, but not Homeland Security!
Santolina incana 'Nana' has grey foliage. This border Santolina was trimed about 4 inches tall and planted 3 inches apart. If left unpruned it will grow 8 inches tall.
Aren't they gorgeous sometimes! - here Millie, my first ever dog, now 3 yrs departed, giving me that look, which actually was probably more about 'get another stick!'
The other side of the wall that divides one of the richest cities in the USA
and one of the most troubled cities in Mexico. The story of people that were
deported from the USA after living there for half of their lives and leave their
wives and children behind, choosing to live a marginal life in Tijuana in
hoping to make it back one day. No documents, no communication with their families in the USA.
Instead of installing a fence, give shrubbing roses a shot. This type of plant can grow just as tall as a fence, and we think they tend to look a lot prettier, too! Their beauty and fragrance won't go unnoticed in the landscape.

The stained glass panels of the great south window at Canterbury Cathedral were removed for the duration of urgent repairs to the supporting stonework and thus many could be exhibited at ground level from where they could be appreciated in far more detail than in their normal lofty settings.
The principal elements of the window are the figures of the Ancestors of Christ, a superb sequence from the late 12th century that originally filled the clerestorey windows of the eastern arm of the cathedral, but were removed in the 18th century and collected together in the great south and west windows to replace glass lost in the Civil War period. In some cases their original ornamental surrounds remained in situ in the choir clerestorey and copies of the moved figures have been reinstated there.
Most of the figures were displayed from May to August 2015 in the cathedral's chapter house in a manner closer to their original setting, with the Ancestors shown in pairs surrounded by rich borders. This was a unique opportunity to show them as the original artists intended and also for visitors to get closer to them than ever before.
The original 15th century glass of the great south window of the transept has for most part not survived and we can only guess at its original subject matter. The window was filled instead in the 18th century with late 12th century glass depicting the Ancestors of Christ, relocated here from the choir clerestorey (where copies may now be seen in their original locations). Further figures were reinstalled in the lower half of the west window, whilst a few original figures remain in situ in the choir.
The stonework of the great south window has been under repair for a few years and many of the 12th century panels have been exhibited at ground level for a short time in Canterbury and even abroad. Currently they are in the process of being reinstalled back in the transept.
