Saw this bench in Burgess Hill yesterday. I know the rules are one photo per day, but I've attached a second with a close up of the plaque too so you can see the inscription.
Keeping busy ..

Thanks! That was from a few weeks back. Back too hot again here, and I don’t feel like going out to the garden after work when the heat index is 105F!

Care to explain what’s on their feet?Taken at one of the local sled-dog races a few years ago:
They look like booties to protect their paws from frostbite. When I worked on the new hospital at Elmendorf AFB, I took my son salmon fishing. Our guide was a very tough looking lady who cared a shot gun on her shoulders, we asked what the gum was for and she simply said "Bear". Turns out she was a famous Iditarod racer named Dee Dee, she said she had 90 dogs at the time.
Those are what is called, "booties" to help the dogs' paw pads (the rough skin on the paw). After some time on the trail, ice or rough terrain tend to chafe or create small cuts on the dogs' paws. The booties also reduce the chances of frostbite.
Thanks. I wasn’t sure how much the dogs cared for wearing them. Plus, it seems like it might make it harder for them to gain traction since they doin’t exactly have feet made for supportive footwear! I’d figure these things wouldn’t make it long before getting torn up. Do you know what they are made out of?
Still in lockdown here, so out come my 2 favourite hobbies; cameras and cocktails …
You go easy on those slopes!
Hiking the dutch mountains.
My alternate "8" for the Alphabet thread. Instead went with a classic (1920's era) with a straight "vertical" 8 engine. Not that the Cobra isn't a classic in its own right.
