Schatzi, our late Shitzu, lying on my legs in the recliner. Bruce Sprinsteen is on the TV screen in the background.

One of my favorite memories of Schatzi. She wouldn't often do this, but often enough.

Coincidentally, that's Springsteen on in the background and the closed caption lyric is from Promised Land

And the dogs on Main Street howl

'Cause they understand...

Bruce is the Boss, but Schatzi was a boss. Miss that little pup.

I hate picking titles. This turned out okay, I think. But it gives you a sense of what our little piece of the world looks like.

Red sky behind power lines against a horizon in silhouette

How the sky turns to fire

Against a telephone wire

And even I'm getting tired

Of useless desires

Patty Griffin

Last night's sky, and a favorite of mine by Patty Griffin.

The OM-1 is on the porch making a timelapse. I tried yesterday, but I think the battery was too low. It quit taking pics about two-thirds of the way through the number of images I'd selected.

So a fully charged battery this morning, more images, faster frame rate in the movie and I'm trying it at 4K. We'll see how this turns out.

That dark lines aren't telephone wires, but power lines. The fiber line is below them, probably hidden in the shadows.

Last day of Blaugust, if anyone is keeping track.

On This Day has my first post about Schatzi. I should post a pic later. Miss that little pup. We brought her with us up here to the Finger Lakes on vacation, and she was a trooper. We called her "Adventure Dog," because she was up for anything we wanted to do.

The same post mentions my efforts at weight loss. Some things just never change.

Thought I had more to say, but I guess not.

Anyway, the beat goes on.

Film at eleven.
