I love this dog :) It's been ages and ages and ages since I last uploaded, I get those pangs, the internal voice, I should be shooting, I should be uploading, I should be learning...but I am not. I am instead taking time out to just enjoy life without a record of it. And quite a lot of events have occurred:
I got a new job
I got engaged
I had a birthday
I got 'Highly Commended' by a judging panel at work for one of my 366 Selfies. It didn't win, but it will make the front cover with another 2 images :)
In due course I will shoot something representational of these things but until then I will just continue when I feel like it.
So here is Reuben, contemplating the shift out of summer into what has been quite a mild Autumn so far.
Contemplating the meaning of life, and other important questions. Chitabe/Chobe in Okavango Delta, Botswana. July, 2015. Unedited

Hmm, if I'm his best friend, how come I have to
use my tongue while he gets to use a wash-cloth?
If I do such a 'good job', how come there's no money
involved?
Why is it I have to eat whatever he puts in front
of me, but whenever I drop a rawhide at his feet
he doesn't even take a nibble just to be polite?
What's it all about when he can shout all he wants
while watching football on TV, but heaven forbid I
should bark a third time at the doorbell.
Almost everywhere we go in the car I see humans
digging up the ground for roads and buildings, but
I try one little bone in our back yard and the world
comes to an end.
How come he has a bathroom in the house he can
use any time he wants while I've got to beg at the
front door for the favor of not peeing on the
entrance carpet?
--And on this subject, where is it written that toilet
bowls can only recieve, and not give, water?
What is fair about him eating a snack whenever he
feels like it but I've got to balance mine on my snout
or some such silliness before I can eat it?
How come he complains about one of my hairs
in his dinner yet I lick the floor clean of the morsel
he tosses there for me?
And what about--Dad!, you're home! Boy, did I miss you!
The car? We're going to the park? With the windows down and everything? And with my ball and frisbee? Yippee!
And then a cool-down walk in the woods? Hurray!
Dad, I love you!

Contemplating Mortality - a tiny carved scull of moose antlers, by Native Americans of Alaska. Seen at the TEP venue of the Tucson Rock and Gem Show, 2012. I am holding this little skull and trying to shoot it handheld with a Canon 5D Mark II, with 100mm f/2.8 macro lens and no flash. That was hard to do! But I was fortunate that the vendor was agreeable to me trying macro shots with available light in a very busy sales setting with scores of people crowding to see the crafts and passing by.
Contemplating weather I use it for waggler fishing or feeder fishing & what size line should I put on?
A little outtake from yesterday's pix of Charlie Parker.
She seems to have a scientific bent! And I have to say the only reason I
know the word "mesosphere" is from hearing descriptions of his work from my scientist/astronomer/ballroom dancing brother!
Taken at the N.C. Zoo yesterday. It was great meeting two Flickr friends!
Valerie and Tammy: Thanks a bunch for a great day!
