The dogs and I were out recently, a pleasantly foggy dawn, enjoying the new day. When we got out to the misty campground, looking over to the boat ramp, the sky looked like this:

Scorched Flora & Snatched Fauna
Posted in animals, dogs, gardening, life, pets, photography, walking on November 1, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I seem to have developed a thing for trying to save scrawny trees. When I had such a notion last spring, near where I work at SF’s Civic Center, it met an ignoble end.

Drifting Loose

The boat first appeared in late spring. With the battered economy, perhaps its owner had abandoned it, and it had drifted into the boat ramp harbor, and there it sat, mired in the mud. I thought the angle was kind of arresting, so I took a few pictures of it.

As I mentioned back here, a cat has joined our household–for the first time since our dear 20-year-old Millicent passed on, back on Groundhog’s Day in 2006. (I hope that, a la the Bill Murray movie of that name, Millicent has moved on to another of her lives.)

The wife, the pups, and I are heading for the Sierra foothills in a few hours. Mostly, when I get my to-do list to-done.
