Apparently it was National Puppy Day yesterday. Here's a working dog feeling completely fulfilled, our border collie Donnan watching over newborn baby goat Luna.
It's amazing to see how he frequently instinctively assumes a herding/watchdog role.
Luna was born shortly before a lunar eclipse, and was mostly white, so was named after the moon.
One can't imagine what fun they bring to 'walkabouts' ! Here we have Mist and Paddy .. Elk was skulking at my feet

If you love coastal walks with stunning views and plenty of seabirds to watch, then this energetic circuit in the Scottish Borders will suit you well. St Abbs head is a National Nature Reserve we walked it from Coldingham bay.

Im Bahnhof von Probstzella (Thüringen) an der Frankenwaldbahn fanden bis 1989 die strengen DDR-Grenzkontrollen statt. Betroffen waren vor allem jene Züge, die Fahrgäste von und nach Städten in der DDR beförderten. Bei den Interzonenzügen von München und Stuttgart nach Barlin fanden die Kontrollen im Zug statt.
Until 1989, strict GDR border controls were carried out at Probstzella station (Thuringia) on the Frankenwaldbahn railway line. This mainly affected trains carrying passengers to and from cities in the GDR. On interzone trains from Munich and Stuttgart to Berlin, the controls were carried out on the train itself.

Caught on a thistle flower. I don't think I've seen these before, but they're all over the place in the Fredericksburg TX area now...very pretty...
Having walked out to this location on the ECML at Marshall Meadows, i wanted to do something with the sign. the area is very cluttered, and the sign on the coast side is missing one half, so this was the only angle I could use. I took a photo of the sign and then layered over the Azuma and flipped the other.
I am very grateful to all friends and visitors who see and like my photos.
Special thanks go to those who invite this shot into their groups. ^_^
Santa Fe's longest branch line, the San Angelo Subdivision, ran 386 miles across desolate West Texas from San Angelo Junction (west of Brownwood on the Texas main line) to Presidio, Texas, on the Mexican border.
In October 1968, it took me three days of engine and caboose riding to make the trip from Brownwood to Presidio. The first day got me from Brownwood to San Angelo, 71 miles, mostly at night; the second day had me riding a trailing F-unit from San Angelo to Fort Stockton, 167 miles, on train 129; and the third day was a caboose ride from Fort Stockton to Presidio, 145 miles. Yes, it was a long trip. The last segment, from Fort Stockton to Presidio, was mainly at night.
We arrived at the border station just after sun up. The crew went on their rest. I wandered around the area all-day, going to Ojinaga on the Mexican side to photograph the Chihuahua Pacific Railroad (Ch-P), one of my all-time favorite railroads.
Late in the afternoon, the crew went on duty and did some switching and shoved a long cut of cars down to the International bridge to transfer to the Ch-P. In this scene at sunset, October 18, 1968, the units (a GP7 and two GP7Bs) and caboose pause in front of the station while the crew gets their orders to head back to Fort Stockton. It will be another all-night caboose trip, but I will get off at Alpine, Texas, in the wee hours and get a motel room. The following day, I will catch SP's SUNSET LIMITED to El Paso, another Santa Fe freight to Belen, New Mexico, and more freights back to my home in Topeka, Kansas.
The San Angelo Subdivision was once the main line of the KCM&O, a segment in Arthur Stilwell's dream to build a railroad from Kansas City to the Gulf of California, a shorter distance to the Pacific than Kansas City to California ports. Santa Fe acquired the KCM&O in 1928, but it never developed as a through route as planned.
The Subdivision was sold in 1998, and there are still attempts to establish through service.
The depot, shown in this image, was destroyed by fire a few years later.
Not my best shot. I did not realize that my ISO was at 5000, not 500, like I intended. It still shows the colour and pattern, so here it is. I will try for a better shot if I get the chance again.

The Anglo - Scottish Border, on the A68, Carter Bar, Northumberland / Scottish Borders, UK. This must be the most scenic border crossing between the two countries, with far reaching views to the north and a steady climb from both sides up to the border at 418 metres above sea level. There is a second stone facing the opposite direction across the road with 'Scotland' written on it.

This bridge is commonly used by Norwegians to travel over the border to Sweden to buy cheap booze and food
and not to mention all the cheap sweets...
I'm standing on the old bridge, taking this picture
We can pay in Norwegian currency if we want and we speak our own language and understand the other one perfectly.
We tend to go a bit bananas when we are "over there" 😁 And you shouldn't think that we are used to alcohol..
We have strict rules about how much (or how little) we are allowed to buy of meat and alcohol.
If we bend the rules we can log into one app and say how much we're bringing over the border and pay by the app, or you can "smuggle" it over.
There is seldom anyone checking you, you just pass the border and maybe seeing a guy or two in uniforms.
There is even ways to find out if the customs are stopping cars and then you'll wait until they are done.
We are the sweetest neighbor of them all 😁
The 10.25 Aberdeen - King's Cross (The Aberdonian) approaches the border with England at Marshall Meadows as a storm recedes out to the North Sea. This was one of many that swept through the area this day and of course the one train I had walked all the way out here for, 'The Celtic Deltic' tour with 55 002, was the only train I didn't get in sun!!!!
