This may be a day late and a dollar short, but, for dog lovers it is hilarious. Gotta love those Border Collies!

Beautiful. You did a great job of capturing the warmth of the wood in difficult lighting. Lovely church.
Come on up to the N.E. and you will see coyotes the size of shepherds, and lots of them. They are invading suburbia at an alarming rate and are all through the mountains of NH, VT, ME, NY, CT and just lovin' the east coast of MA, as well as the Berkshires. In the summer when windows are open you can hear them yowling all night long. Be careful what you wish for.
You succeeded in capturing the color in the water. Just beautiful. Lovely to see "green" again. We've got a lot of melting "white".
They are adults and should have had the respect for the antiquities of another country to not deface them. What were they there for if not to see and appreciate what was there? By not dealing with them harshly, others would think it would be OK to carve their initials, spray paint or whatever took their fancy, and then what would be left of the historical places in the world?
........and they vote. They are no better than the imbeciles who are destroying historic buildings and artifacts in the middle east. If the Italians don't fine them the $20,000 each, I'd be very disappointed. This is why we are referred to as the "ugly Americans".
Looks like a shrew to me, as voles have shorter tails and more mouse-like heads, and moles have much larger paws for digging. Pound for pound shrews are supposed to be one of the most vicious animals on the planet.
Your pastel is beautiful, and thank you for calling Norman Rockwell, an artist. So many in the art world dismiss him as an illustrator and do not consider him an artist.
You've done it again. A great picture. I think you see what some of us would walk by without a second thought.
Oh, yes. Come four o'clock, the stompin' and the whinnying would commence in the barn, and if they were outside, they'd all be lined up at the fence staring at the house waiting for the door to open.
There's a sucker born every minute, and two to take him. Remember Pet Rocks?
I wish someone would please explain this DayLightSaving to the resident pets. They get really confused about when Breakfast Time starts!
Well, I'd best not tell that to my fellow Italians as they eat a lot of grits only they call it Polenta, which I've loathed since childhood, but never realized it was really grits, until sampling some grits down South. It is nothing more than yellow cornmeal vs white cornmeal. Since then I've renamed Polenta, Guinea Grits. (I can do that, because I'm Italian.) :-D
