What a palaver this morning trying to get an excitable 40kg husky/malamute cross onto a vet table so they can do an ultrasound. Eventually a bit of sedation helped! All ends well and he is now back at...

I guess it's "Caturday" so I should add this image of one of our Cats (Sweep) chilling out in the cool of the morning.

Been installing TrailMate on my old Lilygo T-Deck Plus (LoRa). This is an interesting project which supposedly helps hikers and field groups stay oriented when cell service is gone: browse offline map...

Where's my water? Arko, standing in a dry "acequia" channel, on this mornings early morning dog walk.

With all the conflict in the world, big tech takeovers etc, I think I can be forgiven for feeling a bit down at times. My remedy is to take the dogs out for an early morning walk. The fresh mountain a...

Morning Fediverse! The sun was just hitting the "acequia" channel this morning and provided some very interesting light
@jpoesen always a sad and reflective time when you realise that your best friend is approaching his final walks with you. 15 is a great age for a dog though, I don't think any of mine has made it much...

Daily dog walk through the olive groves. The slopes of the Cerro de Caballo 3009m in the Sierra Nevada rising ahead.
@EA7KRC we don't bother. One of our two dogs is terrified of those utterly pointless fireworks that seem to go on longer and longer each year. Poor girl is shaking. We always stay home to look after h...

Post Christmas morning walk with the dogs. Arko looking quite pleased with himself, for some reason!
It's always quite a sad moment when we go on our travels to leave home and our dogs. Even more so when it's an extended trip. Do they sense it will be a lengthy parting or is it just us assuming so? S...

Sometimes the ways of the world get me down. Why oh why can't we just be nice to each other? But all that negativity disperses when I do the morning dog walk. Life isn't so bad after all is it? Have a...

Fantastic half-day hike up the isolated peak of Gilillo in the stunning Parque Natural de la Sierra de Cazorla. Begins with gentle ascent through beautiful forests before breaking out onto the open hi...

Quiet serene river waters reflect the surrounding vegetation and trees. Patches of sunlight filter through The banks of the Rio Guadalfeo during our dog walk today. This river quietly makes it's way t...
