Boxing Day, and Wally and Julie the Pointers are taking a well-deserved break from going bonkers all round the garden. Wally (nearest) is only 1 year old. Julie is 14, and very much the boss.

First Cymru received 40 Transbus Pointer-bodied Darts in 2003 as a long overdue investment in the fleet.
Among these were three 11.3m Super Pointers fitted with six cylinder engines, numbered 750-2, and registered in Dundee by the vehicle manufacturer. They were for then Service 103 (Llandeilo-Ammanford-Pontarddulais-Swansea), operated by Ammanford sub-depot, which they served for a number of years. In the 2003 national fleetnumbering exercise, they became 43901/3/2, in registration mark order.
Having had a stint at Swansea Ravenhill depot, they transferred to Haverfordwest depot during 2017 for allocation to Service 302 (Haverfordwest-Johnston-Milford Haven-Hubberston), However, they were replaced by Alexander Enviro200s 44634-6 within a year, and moved on to Port Talbot depot. 43901 was withdrawn a few months back, but the other two soldier on.
My October 2017 shot was taken on the A4076 between Merlin's Bridge and Johnston, as 43903, still retaining her original foglights, shot past on a 302 journey to Hubberston.

This massive granite rock here is called The Pointer Rock. Recently it is also known as Mobile Phone Rock because with some imagination it resembles an early model of Motorola from some years back. Some people think it looks like dolphin.
Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) is a jagged range of more than 70 knifelike peaks in eastern China’s Anhui province. The region's low-hanging clouds, distinctively shaped granite rocks and twisted pine trees have been subjects of numerous classical paintings and poems. Cable cars provide access to several peaks, and steep paved trails with thousands of stone steps snake past many of the range's famous viewpoints. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations.

I was not the only one interested in capturing my wildlife subject. When I saw this beauty coming closer on the other side of the river, I was completely taken by him or her, enough that I started to shoot this dog instead of my subject. It was the first time I saw a German Shorthair Pointer, well I think that is what it is. Would love to take head shots of this very lovely animal some day.

I acquired Sam four months ago when he was just two months old.
...... a few more ice shots .... I had to make the most of that one day we had. Avert your eyes if you are tired of them by now ....
The former bus depot at Llandudno Junction still exists but is abandoned and, in August 2017, looks rather a sorry sight. Arriva Buses Wales now park their buses in a corner of the Alpine of Llandudno depot where I saw ageing Dennis Dart SLF / Plaxton Pointer B27F 844 Y544UJC, new to Arriva Cymru in 2001.
Rabbit is an English Pointer Mix, and she does in fact go on point from time to time. She's seen here yesterday afternoon pointing a deer. Sometimes she points with lovely, classical, Alfred Duke dog-portrait form, but never when I have a camera in hand. :)
More often Rabbit's pointing is a signal of uncertainty or indecision. She'll go on a wobbly, tentative point if you call her and she can't quite decide whether to respond, of if she's torn between coming over for a hug or checking out a delicious smell from the kitchen.
It makes me wonder whether pointing in the hunting fields starts out as a sign of indecision. "Do I sprint and try to catch this thing now, or do I stalk it for another step or two before I take off?"
Better in color (below) or black and white?
The versatile, medium-sized German Shorthaired Pointer is an enthusiastic gundog of all trades who thrives on vigorous exercise, positive training, and a lot of love.

I take my German Shorthaired Pointer to the woodland adjacent to Phalaborwa for his weekly exercise, and mine. I always take my camera and macro lens with me to shoot butterflies and all sorts of insects and wild flowers.

The Yue Loong Datsun Sunny 101 pick-up was a hugely successful pick-up and still has its fan following in Taiwan, there are still quite some on the road. It was succeeded by the Nissan Sunny B13 pick-up (sold as AD Resort pick-up), but it probably couldn't match the numbers of its classic predecessor. Proton also tried with the Jumbuck/Arena, while Volkswagen sold the Brazilian Saveiro pick-up as Pointer. Not common in Taiwan.
