The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is an exceptionally sturdy and healthy breed. They are intelligent, brave, courageous and loyal companions with a strong inbred instinct for hunting. The breed bays during a hunt, which means they cry out to the hunter.

The 14.30 Sundays only Manchester Victoria to Southport train, formed of two BRCW class 104 'white stripe' dmus, passes Brindle Heath Junction on it's way out of Manchester. The empty area in the foreground once housed Agecroft MPD. A faded sign on the remains of the fence still exhorted trainspotters not to enter

The bridge originally carried the L&Y's fast lines over the slow allowing a somewhat more favourable gradient for the fast lines up to Pendlebury 1;84 as against the 1:58 of the slow lines.

Ralph and I went into the yard today for photoshoot. I was hoping to get a comical photo of him with his ball that has teeth on it. He was not into playing ball and is not a dog that will hold things in his mouth. After torturing him for awhile we just decided to lay in the grass and enjoy the sunshine.

I took several shot with my regular camera and some with my iPhone. I fell in love with this one from my phone, so here it is.....

Brindle, the Catahoula Hound.

Amazingly, this picture was NOT posed. These are our 45mph couch potatoes using each other as pillows. =) Taken in very low light, so it's a bit blurry. I was just happy to snap a shot before they all got up and took off.
