Me too Supa. In fact I love them all, beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

If you’re interested, it’s all interesting. How can you walk past those thunderous clouds and not take a photo ?
They sucked the oxygen out of the air and rocked our joint late last Summer, like exploding bombs in the night, got about 60mm in a short time which is huge for here, our annual is 450mm. Cheers B6. AW

I love the pics AW, and I think you're blessed to live in such a beautiful area. I'm kinda lucky in that regard too- I'll chuck up some pics one day.

X 2 on walking with dogs- twice a day, everyday, pre-dawn sub zero, farking turbocharges me.

There are some times I take pics and sometimes I wish I'd brought a camera but more often than not, I just gaze for a while, breathe it in and move on.

A little montage taken when walking the dogs.

Blessed is the dogwalking hour.

A time to ponder, a moment to reflect.

Then grapple to bag a steaming turd deposited in the most difficult piece of ground to pick up, cursing to oneself.

Then back to the introspection.

Dog and rainbow post walk. I remember this cause it was one of the most vivid rainbows I'd ever seen.

Blackers. Oh mate, that’s a sensational arrangement into a montage, grabs ya eyeballs. Well done.

Zen, x 2, the dog walking in the morning is choice bro, mines always coupled with a complete bird list through the eBird app, temporal and spatial data with the touch of button ends up in Cornell Universities (upstate New York) ornithological depository and another towards the close of day.
My daily contribution to science.
Dog swims twice most days and four times in heat like we’re having tomorrow, 43c. Life is so good, wouldn’t be dead for quids. AW

Zenagain. That’s so good, ‘double prizes’.
Beautiful dog. Male or female ? AW

Male.

And AW, slowly learning my Japanese birds. Lots of the migratory ones too.

Good stuff Zen. Keep it up.

Ooh, you’ve piqued my interest.
Japan is a very important bird country as it lies basically just off the direct route of the northern part of the Pacific Flyway that basically eases off around the Bering Sea and the southern edges of the Arctic Circle.

Most importantly is Japan sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire on a tectonic boundary, here at the zones of subduction, enormous depths of water occurs at the very deep trench boundaries with immense cold water upwellings.
It’s here, super rich nutrients arise to the surface and attracts tens of millions of seabirds, many different species, one in particular Short-tailed Shearwaters ( Muttonbirds) from Australia, sometimes 12-16 million at any one time. They feed for weeks, fatten up, then turn around and fly back to the Southern Ocean and back to relictual breeding grounds on many Bass Strait and nearby islands, often settling not far from where they left from.
Biological world is amazing. AW

Ah but it also warms your hands in the winter cold I believe.
Nice rainbow.

Yours and mine are kindred spirits Guy.

He's going great, had him for a few years now. Got him a little female Mini Schnauzer and they're inseperable.

Edit: put that behind me blackers, this fella's a whole different monster.

Hello - can I have a smooch, please

IB. Howdy.

Nice, bit of a Tom Jones dog look a like.

Haha!
Harriet says thank you very much, but her voice is not quite like the big Welshman's

I reckon she'd be a good cuddler that one. Those eyes melt me.

How good are dogs!

Edit: coincidentally just got back from a killer walk, stunning sunset, freezing cold.

No pics:)

Ha haaa! Nearly spat me coffee.

Island Bay. My sincere apologies to Harriet, she’s gorgeous, it was a 50/50 choice I got wrong.
I’m guessing she likes the end of your bed !!!? AW
