Four days of Frisbee... day four...
Big ol' fluffy Wag? Leaping for Frisbees? They say he's a "Barbie Collie" (although he is more Ken), but he can sheep with the best of them and tear through agility with time to spare! Not to mention his show credentials ;)
Look at him go!
If only you could hear the barking that accompanied the leaping!
Thanks for joining us these past few days. The doggies always like the company :)

Four days of Frisbee... day three...
"Warm-up? Pa-shaw! Who needs a warm-up?"
"D'oh! Nobody saw that, did they?"
"That was a bad throw! I blame the Masters!"
"Told ya! I'll nail it high...
...or even low!"
"You toss it and I'll catch it!"
Tomorrow we'll test the Wag!

Four days of Frisbee... day one...
Ella was the first one we brought to the schoolyard. We could hear the others howling in the distance but we can't handle all three when it comes to Frisbee.
This was Ella's first Frisbee outing and after a few practice tosses...
...we got the idea that she figured out what she was supposed to do.
Before long, she was leaping...
...and hopping...
...and twisting through the air!
Come back tomorrow for "FrankenCollie" and other shots in this four part post!

WIIF #99
Last week, Rachel solved the riddle and found a tasty treat.
Here is What Is It Friday? #99
Laura took a stab in the dark!
The fine print: On Fridays I will post an image in hopes that visitors will leave a guess in the comment section. The following Friday (or when someone guesses correctly) I will post a wide shot of the item. Each Friday a NEW image, along with a link to the previous weeks post, will be posted.

Somewhat haunted...
Long Island has a few mental institutions that were constructed around the early 1900s. Stories abound regarding cruelty and inhumane testing on the mentally ill. Other tales are of the hauntings. Hallways that are visited from beyond, doors slamming and water turning on in the night.
Only once have I visited at night; and I've never gone into the buildings. I need to contact the proper channels and see if I can get a private tour. Until then... is that a child crouching in the corner?

Music makes it better...
This is what I was thinking as I reviewed the following photos.
They were taken at a slow shutter and hand held on the Belt Parkway as I came home from Manhattan on Christmas evening.

WIIF #98
WOW! Nobody got last weeks WIIF?!! And we are quickly approaching the 100th!!! Should I keep it going? Should we call it quits? Either way, the 100th winner will get an 8x10 print of their choice if they would like one :)
In the meantime... Here is What Is It Friday? #98
Rachel solved the riddle and found a tasty treat. This was my niece's creation from Christmas. And you were all looking at one of the "roof shingles" of the gingerbread house ;)

Digits and such... a four part post... Day 4...
Happy New Year's!
The movements of the human hand are accomplished by two sets of each of these tissues. They can be subdivided into two groups: the extrinsic and intrinsic muscle groups. The extrinsic muscle groups are the long flexors and extensors. They are called extrinsic because the muscle belly is located on the forearm. (Go Wiki, go!)
Some people have more than the usual number of fingers or toes, a condition called polydactyly. Others may have more than the typical number of metacarpal bones, a condition often caused by genetic disorders like Catel-Manzke syndrome. The average length of an adult male hand is 189 mm, while the averrage length of an adult female hand is 172 mm. The average hand breadth for adult males and females is 84 and 74 mm respectively. (Wiki rules)
I hope you enjoyed my self exploration.
