Sweetie's daughter has left her large hulking dog beast, Princess Leiah, with us as she has gone traipsing off to somewhere on the Baja for a few days.....

saw the tigers won yesterday.

I enjoyed seeing them win with pitching and defense. A big improvement from previous seasons.

Getting the bug to hit the road.

How do you get them to do that? The ones here only hit the windshield and grill.

Stunning photo!

We've also done the Road to Hana, but as a tour. There was no way I was driving it! The coach was small and the driver was excellent! He was native Hawaiian and knew so much of the history, animals, plants, etc.

A very cool thing to do on Maui is to drive to the top of Haleakala to see the sun rise. You have to get up and go about 0300 to get to the top in time. It's just magical when the sun's rays come up over the volcano's crater!

We did do that but it wasn’t at sunrise. It was still breathtaking. Below us was a cloud bank (it was cloudy on Maui that day) but it was bright and sunny at the elevation we were at. The crater was magnificent. I loved the observatory as well, which is right next to it.

Our very mature, cherry tree. It’s pretty windy today, but when the wind is calm, you can hear 1000s of bees inside the tree looking for pollen in the little flowers.

very nice photos

Are those taken with cell phone or a real camera? The detail and quality is beautiful

 

[Wonderer67]

Thanks! Just my cell phone.

It’s crazy how good their photos turn out—SLRs are becoming obsolete unless you do specialized photography or spend a small fortune on different lenses.

There was a person at work today that had a phone that had 5 camera lenses on it—the versatility and quality is crazy.

Beautiful babies!
I have had AKC registered purebreds as well as Heinz 57 rescue mutts over the decades.
I prefer large/medium dogs...the smartest I owned was an Australian Shepard. Golden Retrievers are truly family dogs.
If anyone with kids talks to me about dogs, I always recommend a Golden Retriever.

Somehow,my kids always grew up with dogs and I feel they are better humans because of that part of their upbringing.
When my kids were very young we had a doberman who was otherwise the most gentle dobe I know .
When any one from outside my family touched my kids the dog would convey to them that such behaviour was not acceptable.

In my view,if the family is well adjusted, dogs of all breeds , adjust well into the family

….how good their photos turn out—SLRs are becoming obsolete…

Anymore they are cameras with a phone attached rather than the other way. There isn’t much they can do to make the phone quantitively better so the arms race has turned to photography and linking the phone to a wearable medical device that monitors your body’s ephemeral data AND tells you the time.

The portability is great too. I used to lug a camera (Canon) around, with a case and one or two lenses. Now I have a phone in my pocket and can take photos that are every bit as good, with a few rare exceptions, AND be told that my blood pressure is fine and that I should sleep 30 mins more daily, and a reminder that person x has a birthday today and that I need to get more steps in. It truly is Orwellian in some ways.

Out here at the country estate.


My sleep schedule is way screwed up. Should be okay tomorrow.


Got a chat in with the big horse today.

The NFL announced the other day that they’ll televise two games on Wednesday, December 25th. Hallelujah and Deck the Halls! Please just don’t feature NFC South teams.

I used to have a real camera. For the longest time, I was thinking about getting a good digital SLR.

But they still seem expensive. I’d like to do a lot of night and star photography. But maybe cell phones w be able to do that as well soon.

I do take time lapses which I enjoy.

I also like a wide variety of music, though my favorites are classic rock and 80's/early 90's music. (Graduated from college in 1992).

Baby Got Back is one of my favorite rap songs.

Those are some of my favorites, also. Although I do like newer artists. I love Ed Sheeran; and, I'm a certified Swifty!

I was teaching in a high school the year BGB came out. One day, one of my students stage whispered it when I was writing on the whiteboard. I turned around, looked straight at him, and said, "She's got ears, too, Sir-Talk-A-Lot!" The whole class cracked up!
