Nice catch of nature.

 

The colors and the bright setting sun

 

Incredible picture.

 

I always have mixed feelings when I see this picture. It was taken almost 20 years ago, and sadly, “Smudge”, our cairn terrier is no longer with us. Cairn terriers were used in Scotland to chase badgers out of rocky cairns. I think Smudge had just heard a Marmot squeal as I took this picture. Love the picture, hate no longer having him.

 

He looks a right wee cracker

 

Sorry, a "like" isn't enough this time. Thanks for posting that, and I know how you feel about Smudge. August 18 many years ago was the date we lost the only true cairn terrier I ever came across IRL, our Andy. I still own the house where I laid him to rest, and visit occasionally to make sure they are keeping his memorial tidy. Right wee cracker is just the right expression. Only sorry he pre-dated digital media, so no uplifting photos to post right now.

 

Mrs duc caught another creature sneaking around in the backyard:

Some pictures of strangers I took in the streets...

 

Life goes on,

 

As Scotland imposes new covid restrictions as from tomorrow mostly involving alcohol sales I received this from a friend this evening
Unfortunately this may not travel ?

 

Like your post - but intriguing choice of thread!

 

If it can bring a smile in these troubled times ?

 

Leo the friendly lion - an unexpected find in the back of an antique dealer's truck at Brimfield, Massachusetts a few years ago. He still makes me smile.

 

Another Japanese theme, but this time in Brooklyn...
