rDay One-Thousand-Thirty-One

Up early, catching the sunrise (mostly via “windshield photography”), but the purpose of our trip across town was an urgent visit to the Animal Health Center on behalf of Charlie-Dog. But his symptoms vanished by the time we arrived, so we returned home.

However, Charlie’s symptoms re-appeared by late afternoon, so we made another visit to the vet. Exams and blood tests are inconclusive, but he is under observation and is scheduled for another office visit tomorrow morning. We undertook the p.m. run under sunny skies, but during the time in the vet’s office, a snow-burst took place and we again returned home under limited visibility, falling snow and growing darkness.

Huayna Picchu, 1978

I wasn’t there.  I didn’t take the photograph.  But my old photo partner, Bill, just today found this previously lost image of himself, unseen for many years, so I thought I would pass it along just to change things up a bit.  Bill went on to climb to the peak, with view camera in tow, and then made a commercially successful poster of Machu Picchu.  (You may recall mention of Bill in some of my previous posts over the years, like this one, a photo I did take.)
