Beautiful lane on the Dutch-German border. Fresh green, sunlight and blooming ragwort

Navarre, on the border between Spain and France the most beautiful corners of the Pyrenees are hidden. Following the route of the pilgrims of Santiago.

It's obviously time to do something!

Crosses hang on the wall between the US and Mexico in Nogales, Sonora. Presumably this is a memorial to those who died crossing into America illegally.

Miles, our Border Collie Aussie mix. He is quite a character.

Only on command Paddy now enjoing the game of looking for somewhere to go 'hup' to! ... (in case you're wondering the back of this boulder was not so steep). This sort of thing all good training for the more rocky hills i venture on to

observation point at the Moliets-et-Maa beach, Landes, Aquitaine, France South-West coast.

Lyn, just about to dash into the woods! Lovely sunny evening, perfect for a walk. We had to talk to the Vet today as Lyn got some new blisters on her tounge. We will have to increase the cortison, and it seems to do the trick. Even if we have to stay at such high dose, it should not be too bad, as Lyn is old and we cannot expect that many more years together though.

Abandoned State Hospital, USA

Now 9 and a bit and looking very pretty ..

Pictures from my project that I've started 6 years ago, in 2011 - dogs in flowers. I wanted to create fairy-tale, colorful portraits of dogs that are full of happines or relaxed, full of joy and soulful.

a watercolor painting with some acryl and glue for the eyes on a3 paper, thanks for the visit have a nice day

"Crossing the border..."... ;-)))

/seen @Mellenthin, Usedom - North East Germany

Mist, wondering if she can be bothered to go after the ball now that Auntie Elk has already made a start. I didn't think I would get any grass movement at 4000th but lo and behold there is and it's quite nice.

The normal view accompanying me as i go up the hills

Dave the Border terrier

I think this image sums her up, she is an intense little dog, but she also has an incredible softness about that you can always see in her eyes.

Astana IAP, Kazakhstan

Paddy, my young border collie, has a fairly strong eye!

despite many attempts my camera continued to persist to 'catch' Elk's tail in preference to her head .. every time!

The Border

Border collie in the wood

Lessons learned from Berlin Wall: Borders exclude. Borders do not protect. Borders just reveal helplessness. Borders stir up hatred.

Down on the beach today - Elk full of bouncy fun .. this being one of her favourite moves (amongst many!)

Ce paysage m'a vraiment attiré l'oeil... Et je pensais qu'il y avait vraiment quelque chose à faire avec. Je pense maintenant que j'aurai pu mieux l'exploiter (il y avait une rangé de peupliers qu'on ne voit pas vraiment ici...). Mais c'est aussi ça la photo !

Post-traitement important.
