    Great photos! Love the snow ones...it's summer here in NZ, so I can feel secretly superior. :) Seriously, hope you are all safe and warm.

    We went to the API show this weekend; similar to a county or state fair in the US. My favourite event is the sheep dog trials, but I love looking at all the animals.

    Kiwi, I was in London and flipped on the TV. It was the national sheep dog trials. The winners were an older man and his seasoned dog. I think they could read each other's minds. It was wonderful to watch. I would love to see one in person someday.

    There are sheepdog exhibits at our Highland Games. I love to watch them give "eye", and make the sheep move.

    I had an Australian Shepherd. I took him to be herding instinct tested. He thought sheep were funny looking dogs. The light bulb finally went on, but I never pursued herding with him. Yes, even in Florida there are herding trials.

    He didn't like my son in laws dog to close to me, and would give eye to make Timber move.

    Vulfie was better at agility, so that's what we did.

    Smaarty, Do you know what that is? It looks like it could be from a coral reef.

    Smarrty, that quilt was oh so gorgeous. What's a longarm? Is that something you use? The choice of colors and stitches for each section was very nice. Piece of art for sure :)

    Sas, It's a sewing machine with a really long space between the machine and the sewing part. With a long arm, there's room to fold the quilt under the arm and the arm can quilt a lot more of the quilt at once. Google it for photos.

    the weird thing is either a sea worm or a plant that flowers every 36 years in India. From a posting on FB.

    I saw that amazing image on the net too. It is Naga pushpa (means serpant flower). An incredibly rare Himalayan flower apparently (and NO, I didn't know that before yesterday)...my first thought was that it was a seaweed Loopy so were were thinking on the same lines Wren, it certainly has that other worldly underwater look.
