Another Update on my Dog

I have some sad news to share about my dog Lolo and that she passed away this last Wednesday due to complications of Valley Fever (Background Info at Wikipedia.org – opens in a new window).

Below is a gallery of photographs that I took of Lolo that I took since 2013/2014. You can, also, find a similar post here and another gallery of photographs.

An Update on my Dog

Please Note: This GoFundMe campaign has closed.

I’ve posted an update on the GoFundMe Page (opens in a new window) that I have set up for one of my dogs for those whose interested in helping out.

For the update: I need to get another round of blood work done for updated numbers for her for Valley Fever. I, also, need to need to get some pain medication so she can walk better. You can find video’s at this link.

Below are photos of Lolo and Rogue. These two dogs helped me to stay upbeat for ninety-nine point nine percent of the time. With the last one percent is when I think about my family and the dogs I’ve lost over the years.

Have a good weekend folks.

The Moon

Here is the moon that was out on the night of October 12 2017 and the morning of October 13 2017.

For some reason I’ve wanted to take a lot of photo’s of the moon recently. At some point I might take a month and photograph the moon. I know there are/were other people who do take photographs of the moon over the course of the night or during a month, but I just want to give it a gander. Though I’m going to wait til I have a working car to do this, and to look for a good out-of-the-way spot with less light pollution to this small project.

Quarter Moon

Here is a photo of a Quarter Moon that I took this one evening in Arizona. It’s one of few photographs that I’ve taken of the Moon over the last four to six months.

As far as I know this it’s named a Quarter Moon; however, if it’s named differently please let me know and I’ll update this post.

Summer Solstice Moon

I took these photographs of the moon late at night on the night on (or before) of the Summer Solstice (June 20, 2016). It took a bit of time to adjust some settings of my camera to able to capture a clear series of photographs of the moon. It was one of those times I had one of those “Ah Ha” moments when I discovered how to do something different and its like bringing two puzzle pieces together.

For the longest time I wanted to take clear photographs of the Moon and I finally did. Now I know how which setting and dials on the camera to change to do this I’m going to try to capture other phases of the Moon.

In the past when I took photos at night there was enough light from street/parking lights that I didn’t need to change it before. I wasn’t able to photograph the moon when it was rising above the horizon.

Here is the moon taken in Tucson, Arizona. Taken on the Summer Solstice and known as the Strawberry Moon.
