Hi,

after thethreads over Bavaria and South Australia, I would like to share a few pictures from east of France.
So, I took my camera, the dogs, and out in the green....

Introducing:

Elya, Australian Shepherd:



Doogie, Border Collie:



Guizmo, Australan Shepherd:



Leaving the house:



A look to Germany, Saarbrücken! The border is 2 miles from my home.



Turn left when you reach the bottom of the valley.



A look back, on my house.



Pass it:



Follow the path:



Turn your head left, my village: IPPLING.



Follow the track:



My playground:







Some knifeporn, but no Busse today, sorry:D







Six weeks without rain, the dried out creek:



Before reaching home, turn back, and have a last look on my playground:



So, that was it, spring just reached us 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Next time we will have more colors, sun, etc..

Thanks for looking

Beautiful countryside and dogs.
thanks for sharing
 
Great looking dogs, spectacular countryside...it reminds me of a few places in MA

Looks like nice land, but not many trees, so I wouldn't do well there
 
Wow, that is beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing your pic's! Love the pups too :thumbup:
 
small world. i lived in Zweibrücken, Germany for a couple yrs way back in the 80's. i think about a half hour from you? funny to recognize the landscape on a knife site....


Tucker the 1yr old greyhound would definitely like playing in those open fields:

Oooops!
I completely forgot this thread!:mad:

Thanks to all for the nice words.

Yes Gentemanngvm, you're right, Zweibrücken is about 30 minutes from my place, and we share landscape, weather, and some other stuff!;)

Last saturday we organized our annual campfire at my background.
As usual, we invited a few friends, and kids friends, and not forgetting, dogs friends for a nice evening outside, we had a fire, barbeque, and some amusements!

The gathering was fixed between 5:00 and 6:00 pm:



While men install the camp, and prepare the fireplace, the dogs keep the girls busy:







We finished at 20 people, and around 10 dogs!

Doogie was very busy keeping an eye on all his sheeps!



Puppies playing together:



Some guys shooting:





Young ones taking tours with the present vehicules:











Around 08:00 pm, the men started the operations with the grills:



That's one thing we have common with our friends from "Saarland" in Germany! It's called a "Schwenker":
It even demands precision in operations, so that one was not enough:



On the menue: german "Rostwurst", "Merguez" from North Africa, and fresh french "Baguette".
Drinks: german "Pils" and french wines!

After dinner, and for the rest of the night we enjoyed our fire:



I can't image something more enjoyable than discussions , dancing, singing, around a fireplace with friends.

At 2:00am we then went to bed, some in the house, some in the tents, some just around the fire!

J-Luc, Welcome here on the Busse Forum Bro!!! Great pics and a lot of memories for me as well. I was about 50 KM from you back in 1982-1984, Baumholder, Germany.
I always enjoyed those weekend trips camping, cooking brats, fresh breads and cheese, oh and the BEER/WINE:D:p. Again, thanks for the pics and those shepards are some beautiful pups.
 
Damn I knew that place looked familiar lol. I was stationed in baumholder in 2003. such a beautiful place. horrible weather though lol. sun, rain, sleet, snow all in one day :) the beer and brats were always tops for sure.

great pictures and thanks for sharing.
 
Makes me want to take a trip to Europe! I'd love to make it back to Germany and France. Thanks for sharing!

80's, cold war.....
But, we had a lot of beer!
Somehow, great time, even if 30 years later, you just remember the good time!
