“In certain contexts, a lone tree might be seen as a symbol of hope or life in an otherwise barren or desolate environment. It could represent the idea that even in isolation, there is the potential for growth and renewal. The image of a single tree can also convey a sense of independence”

Really? This tree is a destination. It can be reached from a walk from the car park at Dunvegan Castle and across open moorland from the road to Portree.

Araucaria araucana, commonly called the monkey puzzle tree, monkey tail tree, piñonero, pewen or Chilean pine, is an evergreen tree growing to a trunk diameter of 1–1.5 m and a height of 30–40 m. It is native to central and southern Chile and western Argentina.  It is the hardiest species in the conifer genus Araucaria. Because of the prevalence of similar species in ancient prehistory, it is sometimes called an animate fossil. It is also the national tree of Chile. Its conservation status was changed to Endangered by the IUCN in 2013 due to the dwindling population caused by logging, forest fires, and grazing.

#Dogs #DogWalking #Pets

So, I've been thinking about buying a dog again but
I've already failed twice as dog owner & it makes no sense to buy one again.

I really like dogs but I don't like the need to walk/play w/a dog @day and picking up dog 💩 2-3x/day, plus the cost of food/toys/ tc & the cost of vet visits/insurance & the cost of kennels if I need to get away for more than a day.

I once solved this "I love dogs but can't own one" problem by being a dog walker for the Marin Humane Society, which allowed me to walk a dog anytime i wanted w/o the personl/financial responsibilities of dog ownership.

I could volunteer with Marin again but it's a long way to Marin where where I now live in the remote East Bay.

I've taken a look at the Contra Costa and Stockton animal shelters as other "dog walker" possibilities but (of course) their facilities aren't near as nice as those in Marin.

So, I'm going to try to resist the impulse to buy another dog but soon will look into volunteering in Marin again.

Near me, the experienced #cyclists tend to yell things like "Passing on you left!" when coming up behind each other and behind pedestrians. But with the proliferation of inexperienced #bicyclists due to #ebikes, and with their tendency to go so darn fast, I've been getting a lot more surprises from behind me.

It's especially dangerous for pedestrians with a #dog on a leash, some of whom have been (correctly, for roads) trained to stay to their human's LEFT on walks, or who were never trained to stay on one side of their human in the first place. With slower #bikes and fair warning yelled out, that didn't tend to be a problem before.

Squirrels can suddenly inspire attempts at chasing them, even by dogs on a leash, on either side of the trail. #Dogs do unexpected things.

PLEASE yell out "Passing!" folks (or ring that bell). Don't just zip up from behind.
