Normally I plan ahead, but this was mostly a fly by the seat of the pants trip. Hwy 1 along the Pacific Coast had a surprise in store for me (my husband apparently knew about it). The end of January and beginning of February activity at the San Simeon elephant seal rookery was at its noisy peak. Mothers defending their spots in their middle sized voices, pups squealing to be fed in their higher pitched voices, the alpha bull roaring just off shore with a few beta males banished nearby, all made a tremendous racket. For about seven miles, every sandy beach was covered with mothers and pups. Each beach had a bull waiting for the females to come into estrus at the end of the feeding period of about a month. During the entire stay, about 3 months for the bulls, the adults do not eat or drink anything. Most lose about half their body weight.

The last 10 Pups built by Sopwith in 1919 were converted to 2 seaters for civilian use and named Doves. In the mid-thirties Richard Shuttleworth found one, with the registration G-EBKY, being flown from a field at Kempston, west of Bedford, by Geoff Chamberlain. The aircraft had no Certificate of Airworthiness and so the owner was not interested in a legal sale. A deal was done to swap the Dove for an Avro 504K that Richard had recently found in Portsmouth. By being economical with the truth Richard straightened things out with the registration authorities and his team set about restoring the Dove to Pup configuration. The rebuild was completed by February 1938 and it joined the Blériot and Deperdussin in performing at RAeS garden parties and various other air displays.
In 2004/5 the aircraft was extensively refurbished in the colours of 9917, a Beardmore built aircraft which was fitted with Le Prieur Rockets when it served for a time on HMS Manxman, a seaplane carrier.
Pup separated a day ago with no wilt.
The plant will be repotted with almost no roots being disturbed .

A pesar de que soy fiel a los cortes y decoraciones de Stock de las máquinas y sobre todo de los mas antiguos, debo decir que se ve llamativo igual este Pupo con esa pintura, le da otro aire un color así que rara vez se ve en un camión como este :D

Like my designs, but looking for a different breed of dog? Feel free to drop a comment to suggest one! Already planning on Daschunds and Golden Labs for my next two designs, but more are always welcome.
not quite sure if it's Pup Falls or not, but definitely nice enough to shoot. Clackamas River, Oregon.
Flying at the Shuttleworth Collection flying display, Old Warden, 6th October.
The Pup design was one of classic simplicity using a fabric covered wooden structure to achieve light weight. It was considered to be under powered but, despite this, proved highly manoeuvrable with an excellent rate of climb at all levels up to 15,000 feet. In addition it achieved the reputation of having the most delightful flying qualities, and it certainly commanded respect from its enemies as a fighting machine. William Beardmore were contracted to build 50 Pups under licence from Sopwith. They were to be armed with Le Prieur Rockets which were used against observation balloons with some success. The Rockets were fired electrically from about 200 yards, the knife edge in the nose cone pierced the fabric and the escaping gas was then ignited by the rocket. Some of these Pups had transparent areas fitted to the centre section of the upper mainplanes to improve visibility for the pilot.. SERVICE HISTORY The Pup followed the 1½ Strutter and preceded the Triplane in Sopwith history, entering service in 1916, first with the RNAS and later with the RFC. It was used both over the Western Front and, later, for home defence duties. The RNAS used it for pioneering sea trials and in 1917 one made the first ever landing on a ship at sea. This particular number, 9917, served for a time on HMS Manxman. THIS EXHIBIT: N9917 G-EBKY This aeroplane had a number of owners prior to its acquisition in 1936 by Richard Shuttleworth. After being stored at Old Warden it was restored and rebuilt as a standard Pup.

Border collie pup, here 10 weeks young, laat een van de eerste ontmoetingen met het hondenveldje op zich inwerken. Hij woont samen met een Alaskische Malamute. Ondertussen druk met een cursus schapen drijven.
Grey seal pup, Halichoerus grypus, having a yawn. It's what I'm doing at the moment too. (but don't have quite as many chins!).
I ventured to Donna Nook, Lincs, today with my daughter. The seals were fantastic, but the weather was pretty vile - gloomy, showery and way too cold to linger in one place for long.
Handheld, natural light. Would have liked some sunlight to perk up the photos - all look rather flat to me.
