rDay Three-Hundred-Sixty-Six (The First Day of The Rest of …)

A brief shopping outing in today’s rain and hail and cold returns us to reality. Still difficult to adjust to the almost surreal quiet, and the absence of the charged energy we could experience in Seattle (yes, rain was a constant there, too). Yesterday was mostly collapse in attempted rest, with a side visit to 103 to assure ourselves that all is well. Now your correspondent needs to review several hundred photographs and prepare to resume a couple of client projects next week.

rDay Three-Hundred-Fifty-Seven: In Dog We Trust

Just shooting nondescript images today as a matter of equipment & technique testing (including Corbin’s back button focus trick) …

Yeah, it’s true.  Charlie is the only family member who has yet to audibly protest about serving as subject matter.  

Retraction / Correction

Yesterday’s post characterized Kim and Charlie as “lost”.  Kim offers an alternative, purportedly more accurate account:  She and Charlie followed marked trails from a jumping off point on the southerly side of the mountain for a considerable distance through all sorts of terrain.  But after an hour and a half or so, Kim realized that she was too tired and too far from the starting point to return the same way, and reckoned that heading in the Mt. Glen direction would bring her out of the trails and near a main road on the northerly side much more quickly with much less expenditure of time and remaining energy.   So that’s what happened!
