Today’s header photo was captured early yesterday, by my friend Rachelle Chaikin, showing this year’s Harvest moon rising. Afterward, Rachelle didn’t set aside her camera, and at midmorning we went hiking with our dogs. Afterward, she shared more fine captures.
Yesterday, rain throughout our hike kept us all damp. Nonetheless, our water-loving dogs couldn’t get wet enough. This fun capture has Rachelle’s Ryder and my Chase emerging happily from their umpteenth full-body dip.
This young and energetic pair constantly are on the run, going nonstop, except for diving frequently into the canal. Upon emerging, pausing only for quick shake-offs, they’re off and running again.
Here’s a nice capture and almost a mood piece. Little Mitzvah and I are going to the canal. I wanted to support Mitzvah, as she refuses to enter a body of water, but will tiptoe to its edge, drink, and let her paws get wet.
My friend and neighbor, Susie, and I had planned to drive east of the city yesterday evening, and watch the Harvest moon rise, and take photographs. But it rained all-day, bringing gloom and depriving our hopes of seeing anything in the sky. So instead, we settled at Susie’s, before a cozy fire, and sharing a beer and a jar of nuts caught up with one another. Good evening, even without the fall moon.
It wasn’t late when I started home, but a very thick fog created conditions of nearly blind driving. I moved slowly while feeling grateful for knowing the local roadways. In the heavy gloom, a newbie to our neighborhood trying to navigate its twisty roads would have been mega challenged.
Dear Friends: The rain was welcome and we need a great deal more. Diana
