Out for a walk with my girl, we came across a clearing. It was the rich colors of the forest that first drew my attention. Later, while composing the shot, it was the shadows that anchored the image and balanced the level of interest

Couldn't zoom out fast enough for this but barely got her shadow in. Might work better with a bit more cropped from the top, but I'll let this simmer for a while.

Yes, we are currently mere shadows of ourselves as we have become trapped in DIARRHEA HELL!
For two months Tidda has been suffering from increasingly frequent bouts of diarrhea. For the most part, she seems to be feeling okay and enjoys her walks, is hungry and plays. I on the other hand have been reduced to stumbling in a trance from one colon emergency to the next, randomly having to drop everything and take her outside or, worse, having to get up at 2 a.m. to take her out. And then again at 5.
Stool samples are negative for Giardia, negative for worms. She's been on probiotics and prebiotics for 10 days and has had several 24-hour fasts, now mostly getting rice and home-cooked chicken broth. She's losing weight and does seem to be a little less energetic.
The 12 day wait for the vet appointment has been the longest 12 days ever. It's no longer episodic but just continuous diarrhea. I wanted to bring her in as an emergency on Saturday but then she seemed slightly better and the vet "no longer had any same day visits available" that day. To be honest, I might be suffering more than she is. They said I'm doing everything right and she should get better.
Ever since the pandemic, the vet clinic has been chronically understaffed and overburdened and I've heard it's due in large part to the extreme local housing shortage as they can't hire people if there is no affordable place for them to live. Another issue is that I have constant problems buying her regular food as intermittently it's just not available due to the supply chain problems that are affecting pet foods. It's a real stressor for me. I'm going to see what the vet thinks about the possibility of making my own food for her.
Yet, Tidda is her sweet and good self. I'm trying to emulate her in that regard. I tell myself we will get through this and she will get better. Life just never seems to get any easier, though.
Wish us luck for the vet visit on Wednesday!
Creosote, Sunset Shadows. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
A clump of creosote among curving sand dunes as sunset shadows arrive.
This comes from a short but very intense burst of photography on a late- January evening in Death Valley National Park. A suitable interval before sunset I had headed out on a hike of a bit more than a mile to a line of sand dunes, where I expected that the final direct sun o the day would arrive over the top of a low ridge to my west, and that it would have the potential to bring some lovely, wam light to the dunes. I arrived at the dunes well before sunset and set to work looking for subjects in this somewhat unfamiliar place.
The light was already transitioning toward evening, and as I worked the transition accelerated. I put a long lens on the camera, partly because it would allow me to pick our small compositions in the larger landscape and partly because it would let me quickly respond to short-term bits of beautiful light that were too transitory for me to pick up and move to their location. Moments before the sun dropped beyond that ridge, the color of the light intensified and the shadows lengthened.

They didn’t really know where they were going.
It was their very first walk together… just a simple desire to escape, to explore a quiet place, hand in hand.
Hearts still shy, yet already in sync, they walked in silence, letting the leaves crunch softly beneath their feet.
Then suddenly, something caught their attention.
A sound? A shadow? A sign from the universe, maybe...
Even the little bunny🐰 stopped in its tracks, curious,almost like it sensed this moment was different.
A shared pause, a gentle shiver,
the first page of a beautiful story yet to be written...
