Last year 2016, when we were in Landsberg, Bavaria, I spotted this little cutie. I love taking photos of dogs, and this little one caught my eye, you just knew there was a question in the air……as the children were drinking from the fountain…..me, what about me, I need one too. There followed an amazing little sequence.
I’m still waiting…..
Finally, Mum has noticed…….so happy, jumping for joy 🙂
Now I just need to dry off
This is what I would have love to have done today, paddled in some lovely cold water, but this was taken in Wales 2016 of a family on the sand, but just looking at it makes me feel a little cooler. We have had it hot again here in Norfolk, 4 days running of, 29, 31, 34, 33 degrees and with hotter weather due….. and no rain forecasted……hope not…..it will mean a hosepipe ban. One good thing is that its so warm at night, we can work out in the garden until about 10pm, so getting lots done, but not a lot of time for blogging, but it will soon reverted back to a normal English summer……maybe.
We have been away again, back up to Scotland, this time, the city of Glasgow. It was a work related visit, but this time we stayed in the city. Normally we just dash in and out, but this time we got to see a little more and we actually liked what we saw. I took a load of photos, but still have to download them and sort through…… I still haven’t finished the ones I took up on the west coast in May. Time seems to be flying past at the moment, I’m not sure how to slow it down and catch up with everything…..but a peaceful stroll along a lake, I’m sure would help.
The above photo is Canoe Lake in Southsea, which is the seaside resort of Portsmouth, on the south coast of England. I grew up very close by and whenever we are nearby, its a must for a drive along the seafront and a quick walk. This couple had the whole lake to themselves, just the swan boats to keep them company 🙂
A visit from 2016
Washing drying in the sun, on the Isle of Skye, taken on holiday May 2016. I see washing hanging out and I have to take a photo…..I’m not sure why, I just like seeing it dancing in the wind, especially if it’s really windy. Also the cottage reminded me of the ones that we had seen on the Isle of Tiree, last year 2016, with the black stones, which are called ‘Pudding Houses’ or ‘Spotted Houses’
I also found another example, where you can see the stone work more clearly. This cottage was a little further away from the first cottage, the first cottage didn’t have bay windows, but otherwise it’s quite similar.

I think Julius K9, is the name of the harness this german shepherd is wearing……..but what a great name for a dog. Anyway for the purpose of the post, I name this dog Julius. Julius I think is a security guard dog, rather than a police dog, going by his handlers uniforms. We were in Munich, Bravia last year 2016, walking towards the Oktoberfest (the beer festival) when I saw Julius sitting calmly, waiting for something to happen, so he could spring into action and the reason for the muzzle….well he would most likely…..lick you to death 🙂 So Julius is straight into my ‘Occupation Category’ as security guard dog…..with handlers.
On one of our trips to Munich, Bavaria, last year, 2016, I spied this handsome dog, I think he was a little bored, so he played to the camera, like a real pro……while his owners (well most likely only one owner) just kept chatting 🙂
When we were on Skye, Scotland, a couple of weeks ago, we stopped on our ’round island road trip’ to have a picnic. I’m not sure that we have had one, with such a breathtaking view before. I think…..we were looking at Applecross on mainland Scotland, with the little island of Rona in the foreground, but I’m not a 100% sure. The sky had a slight haze, which made everything in the distance have an ice blue tint, it was far more beautiful than I could really capture, but they are a lovely reminder of a beautiful picnic.
