I was happy I managed to wake up at 3am to go out to watch it peak. even left my phone inside.

I've hoped most of my life than I wouldn't reach that age & I certainly wasn't expecting to survive the thrill sports I did, but now I have a 17 y/o daughter that's kept me younger than I should be.

beautiful scene, Rina. I only know that feeling from my dreams. the bungee jumps only felt like falling.

I have a thing for hats & that bowler is among my most favorite. I bought it at the Norcal Renaissance Faire several decades ago. made by the Mad Hatter Dude. all felt with silk liner.

one of the finer pleasures for me in life is lying on my back in a #forest & gazing straight up at old giants, with wind in the trees & the sound of flowing water nearby. those moments when nothing else matters but the view.

I've not seen a pug like that, just all black & beige w/ a black face. it's a very pretty coloration. he's not just cute, but quite handsome.
it was nice to chat about our little boys, Cass, thank you! ๐Ÿ™

I call him my little man dog. surely you have more pics of Frankie that you could share. Ash recognizes dogs on my screen & barks at them. this is my favorite one of him

hi Frankie, cute boy! does he let you sleep in his bed, like Ash allows me?
yep, lovable to the core because that's how they return it.

one day in the Sunken Garden at Filoli, I noticed bare multi-branched sticks stuck in the flower beds. I thought how distracting until I saw what used them. since the sticks were higher than the flowers, they provided excellent lookout perches for feeding time.
