| While Dick clambered around, exploring the old walled city of Carcassonne, I waited for him in this shady little outdoor cafe a short way down the hill. My wait was made more than bearable by the presence of a big yellow dog. This amiable Yellow Labrador Retriever helped a group of men eat their lunch and also retrieved any stray bits of food cluttering up other parts of the patio floor. |

A series of murals just downhill from the walled city includes
depictions of critters such as the boar, above, and horse, below. |

The downpipes there are a lot more insteresting than the ones here!
Great post :)
Fabulous captures but my favourites are the pipe and particularly the retriever sitting so neatly to attention:-)
What wonderful shots. I really must visit Carcassonne!
This first shot is awesome, best friends ever and ever!
Wonderful post Kay!

Great shots, all. France is so photographic!
Thank you for visiting my cottage country !
Dogs have body language too, I can read this one's clearly! :-D Lots of fun critters... you know I like murals, and I've been noticing the decorated downpipes here too.
I'll bet your missing your dog and this one filled in!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wonderful French shadows, Kay!
The murals are a treat and I love the down spout but my favorite photo is the first one. That yellow fellow knew how to go about finding his lunch.
I love the bottom photo :)
I love the canine vacuum cleaner and can remember being very surprised in France and Holland that dogs were allowed into cafés and restaurants. I wish that was the case here, as Lambi LOVES to hover up crumbs :-)
I love that downpipe too! So unusual. I'll bet Dick was thinking of Lindy when he saw that big yellow dog.
The first photo is a great street scene.
Such interesting downpipes! Love the composition of the photo with the mallard.
Great critters photos. My favorite is the first one of the yellow lab. Have a great week!
Beautiful murals! I had to giggle about the dog who "helped" others eating their lunch - I can imagine! Who can resist the soulful eyes of a Labrador Retriever? (I know for sure that I can't)
