It was only a rhetorical question, being a wiseass, in reply to what Steve said.
I said it was in Italy, cos in searching the image I had found the whole story.
It was actually in 2014, in a village called Ronchi di Termeno, and yes, the fields are vineyards.
But i read that Wikipedia link anyway, thanks…
it looks like a gorgeous place to visit… And real Parmesan, and also my vinegar, come from there.

As for the boulder story…. the surprising thing is there’s another, much bigger boulder, in front of the one we can see here. It had already rolled down the hill a few years earlier… But the people stayed!
In one of these pictures, you get a better look at the barn that was destroyed, while it missed the house by less than a meter.
The other was taken from the other side … the back of the house… And you can see a second boulder that stopped just inches short of destroying it.
I have to think that if that rooftop is still accessible, they’ve added more safety features by now.
I can’t imagine letting people stand on top of a skyscraper, next to an open railing they could so easily slip through… in fact a child could walk right under it.
As of 2002 there were no railings on the paths to the dwellings at Mesa Verde. I was inching my way to the steepest and best preserved dwelling , my back pressed against the wall of the mesa, when some children ran by. I couldn’t stand the thought of the slightest misstep and had to turn back. The paths to that dwelling were smooth & about 5′ wide but with sheer drop-offs and no railings.
I wasn’t very familiar with Mesa Verde, so I just googled it, looking for pictures I wasn’t really sure I wanted to see, being terrified of heights.
I couldn’t find great pictures, but I did find some videos… one that was okay but the narrator kept calling it mee-savir-dee, and i had to stop listening.
Then I found this one… I have no idea if you did this stuff. But this is a not-so–young man filming what for me would be a terrifying walking tour, if I could even do it… But I couldn’t in a million years.
He even suggests that if you’re afraid of heights or not in shape you just watch the video and don’t go.

Me too .. looks much more like yellowish wax than the dull paper-bag brown wasp nests I see… Plus wasps burrow in to the center and hide.
They don’t make thin walls full of holes where they’d be visible.

Actually, I have a hard time examining it, because I have something called trypophobia… a fairly new name for something nobody ever thought anybody else had.
They only found out they were not alone when people started confessing on the Internet.
It’s basically an aversion to patterns of holes…. I’ve had it since childhood.
Some people feel disgust, or fear, or get queasy… I get goosebumps and feel uneasy looking at things with closely spaced holes, but it’s far worse if there’s something in them, like certain seed pods.
Regular honeycomb doesn’t usually bother me, especially if it’s waxed over… but this verges on creepy, for no reason that makes sense.
I feel pretty confident that the “true dog lover” whose abode we see here would indeed notice the ten changes. What’s more, I think I have found them too. Now to confirm:
And I am wrong. I confess that the diff you found and I did not was certainly valid. The one I saw that you did not mark is
SPOILER?
top center; whippet-like dog running in front of a mountainous background. In the left side image, there appears to be some sort of thin, but unbroken gray line running from the dog’s left rear hip to the bottom right edge of the image.
It’s some sort of accidental mark that was made very recently…. after I got the puzzle to work on…
I’m not going to give details or name any names… but I believe one tiny thing on the puzzle got a teeny tiny touch-up … and it’s very easy to make a stray mark
But it wasn’t done to my copy, cos I already had it…. and if you look at that same spot on my solution, it’s not there.
As I always say… You can count it if you want to… We’re not keeping score!
Please see my reply above, to Liverlips and Arfside.
Also …
I didn’t make my square big enough… But the difference you note underneath the chest of the dog on the sofa is actually part of his whole chest and its black markings being smaller in panel one than in panel two.
It’s hard to describe exactly, because honestly, I don’t completely understand the drawing in that spot. I mean the original drawing, not just Stel’s alteration.
You’re both lucky. We could use some more rain. My garden’s dying because I was away in El Paso, then camping / fishing with the kids & grandkids. No water equals very unhappy tomatoes.

When I saw fields like that around here they were growing hops.
Hopefully they weren’t getting destroyed by giant boulders.
This is in Italy, BTW….
Do they grow hops in Italy?
Only hope.
I presume grapes or tomatoes because it’s here:

Amazingly, no one was hurt.
I forget that you can’t attach two at once….
Boulder? What boulder? (Told you this was past my bedtime…)

A wonderful movie. Ruth Gordon is hilarious.
I loved it… one of my favorite movies.
I did disagree with the ending, but I knew it was for dramatic effect.

Looks like you could just jump across, doesn’t it?

Yikes! What were they thinking??!

Make it stop!!!
I am with you.
Whatever it’s supposed to be doing, it’s not doing it.
I either have to scroll it slightly, or stare at the red square.
He thinks he’s in the henhouse, doesn’t he?
Foxes do that belly crawl and head lowering, with what I call that obsequious expression, as a sign of affection.
It looks like they’re begging not to be eaten… but it’s really a gesture meaning “Hi friend…. I won’t hurt you.”
When they get closer they turn over onto their backs, and then if they know you well enough, they stick their little tongues up your nose to lick you.
I met a couple at the wildlife rescue center.
They didn’t know me well enough, but they did that to their handlers.
….
I’ve had two schipperkes, which are rather fox-like little dogs, though sturdier looking.
They do have some vulpine traits, like, when they’re really excited to see you, they may crawl on their bellies to greet you.

Now that would have been the giveaway…
Bottom photo is Patty Duke & Anne Bancroft in
I don’t care!
This is Patty Duke and Helen Keller in 1961.
And Anne Bancroft as Annie Sullivan.
I had to google to be sure, but thought it might be…
It had to be her, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Art Garfunkel in drag.
LOL!

Great, but I think it’s a bee honeycomb.

It’s great that they have names now for everything. My “prosopagnosia” (face blindness) is one I only learned about a few years ago.
Meh. Show me the wasps building one out of pyrex.
Oh, please, no!

The apartment of a true dog lover, in this week’s puzzle.
He has so many pets plus portraits of possibly past pets….
Try saying that 6 times quickly…
Would he notice if there were 10 subtle changes?
But it’s your mission (should you accept it) to dig them all up…
The dogs won’t be allowed to help you, because as city apartment dwelling creatures, they’re well trained not to dig.
However…. being the kind soul that I am (cough)…
I will help you…. Try to find all ten, which I’m sure you can do…
Then you can compare with the ones I’ve found…
I feel pretty confident that the “true dog lover” whose abode we see here would indeed notice the ten changes. What’s more, I think I have found them too. Now to confirm:

You’re definitely correct about that one.
I see it… You’re right.

I was coming in here to say that. I remembered yours after I had logged out. I should have logged in again earlier. Somebody set you up! 😉
I found Eleven!!

A bit of old style Hollywood glamour for this Saturday.
HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE!!!
…i got rain…
Me too.
You’re both lucky. We could use some more rain. My garden’s dying because I was away in El Paso, then camping / fishing with the kids & grandkids. No water equals very unhappy tomatoes.
We got rain, too…..
Geez, and now the days become shorter….. Gotta think happyhappyhappy-er thoughts…!
I’m hoping some of this gets east and helps with all the little wildfires.
I’m always sad about the days getting shorter.
No rain here today….
Rain is rare in June, but in the last few years patterns have been inconsistent, so you never know.
80°F/27°C … I consider that rather hot but most people don’t… and there’s a lovely cool breeze, so it’s actually a gorgeous day.
More like spring than summer, though.
