Livestock, working border collies, books, gaming and cynisism. Nae king! Nae quin! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again! Knowledge should be free. Trans rights are human rights. No farmers no food! He/Him

A border collie lounging on his back in a soft chair full of sheepskins.
A mountain landscape
A field on a mountain side, fir trees and a valley in the background. In the center of the picture there is a flock of six sheep, set up between a shepherd and a dog. All the sheep are facing the dog and you can see that the sheep on the far right has a blue collar. The shepherd is pointing at the head of the marked sheep, about to call the dog in to shed it off and hold it on a single, the last task of an open level sheepdog trial course.
A corner with large windows facing east and south. In the east facing window there are tomato plants and peppers, the south facing window is almost completely covered by large cucumbers, climbing on a net. There are red curtains and in front of the plants there are a comfy chair with several pillows and a fluffy sheep pelt. The landscape ouside is barely visible through all the leaves, but you can see the outline of a mountain side and a large fir tree.
A green field on a mountain slope. In the left side of the picture is a tricolored border collie with floppy ears, lying in the grass and looking at the photographer.
Early summer day, a forest on a mountain side and a view over a valley with a lake at the bottom. In the horizon you can see the edge of Jotunheimen. Five border collies are standing just by the photographer.
"Our new arrival has no supplies, and I fear that the phase of the moon has caught her out. Do you or Thorn perhaps...?" He made a vague hand gesture, hoping that she would read whatever she needed into it. Marli snorted. "Not a concern of mine," she said,"but Thorn will. Half a moment." She ambled off to a tent and a minute later the other female member of the troop appeared from it and went off in the direction of the command tent. Istvhan decided to leave them to it. He had enough sisters to know what was going on, and...
A very happy looking border collie, on her back with her legs in the air, about to fall asleep on a rug.

Gif of the animated character Wuxian from Legends of Hei, taking a bite out of a grilled bird only to spit it out as soon as he taste it. Wuxian can't cook.
A mountain landscape with a lake at the bottom of the valley. In the foreground a person is sitting together with two border collies, all three looking in the same direction.
A small road heading down in to a mountain valley, with a lake at the bottom. It's early spring with a hint of green, and the sun is setting behind the mountains to the left. Far away in the distance, partly hidden by clouds, you can see snow covered mountains; the edge of Jotunheimen.

"I...I wanted to venture out and see the world for myself", Chang Geng began. He hesitated, then continued. "Great Master Liao Ran once told me that if my heart was as large as the world, worries the size of a mountain would be no more than a drop in the ocean. If I traverse the mountains, rivers, and oceans, see the great profusion of living things, and look often at other people, I will be able to look down and see myself. One who has never treated the dying with their own hands will see their own superficial scrapes as mortal wounds; ome who has never eaten a mouthful of yellow sandwill see only the brilliant gleam of spears and armored horses when they think of battle; and one who has never gnawed on empty husks complains of an imagined illness when they discuss the suffering of the common people"
A black sheep is lying in a spring green field, her young lamb sleeping on her back. She has turned her head to rest it on her lamb, like a hug.
A snowy forest and in the middle of the picture you can see the nose of a dog poking up out of the snow. The snow is so deep the dog has almost disappeared!

A portrait of a black and white border collie, one ear up and one ear down.
A mountain plateu in fall colours, different tones of red, brown, yellow and green. The sky is cloudy but you see the blue sky in some spots. In the middle of the picture there are four border collies with high viz vests, driving a large flock of sheep towards the horizon.
A black and white border collie on the left side of the picture, calmly stalking, eye to eye with a swiss brown yealing heifer on the right side. The heifer is about to turn and yield to the dogs pressure.
A plastic dog bed full of blankets and a feather comforter. A small white lambs with brown patches is lying in one end of the bed, shivering and looking miserable. Opposite of the lamb in the bed is a black and white blrder collie dog, glancing worriedly back and forth between the photographer and the lamb. Other dogs can be seen in the foreground.
Four white lambs, a few days old, are jumping and playing around some ewes that are patiently watching.
A snowy and icy forest road surrounded by small hardy mountain birches and the odd firtree. On the road there are three border collies walking with their tails happily wagging. The dogs are wearing sled dog X-back harnesses and the leashes are attached to the photographer. The dog on the right is wearing a small backpack.
In the foreground there are five happily panting border collies standing on a large boulder. The background is of a harvested field surrounded by trees that are just about to shift from summer green in to the red of fall. The sun is low so the shadows are long and the sky pale blue.
The face of a tricolor border collie with pricked ears, who put his nose way too close to the camera so his proportions are all distorted and he looks like a cartoon. His right ear is soaking wet and his expression says "come on, no more sitting down, let's GO!"

An evening sky just after the sun set, bright blue sky and pink clouds.
Five heifers meeting their first working dog. Zoe the border collie is calmly holding her line, showing them that if they try to walk to the gate she will stop and turn them with her eye, and she releases the pressure as soon as they turn away.
Late autumn, Jotunheimen in the background. A grassy field sloping down towards a fjord on the left sode of the picture. On the field are 2 groups of sheep, held apart by a black and white border collie in full work mode
