We are excited and ready for ’24’s Season 7 premier.  We understand that the first four episodes of the season were leaked onto the torrents.  What a shame!  Some fucker always tries to spoil the suspense of the wait.  I hope FOX finds out who he/she is and burns his/her ass.  Less than four hours to go.  Woo Hoo!!!

The moon rose brightly in the sky before the sun had even begun to set.  Awesome!!

The moon has been awesome in the sky before sunset for the past few days.  When I look up and see it in the sky, I just have to run for the Nikon.  The moon in this picture has a slight hint of orange to it from the sun still being high in the late afternoon sky.  I just love my pictures!!!  I uploaded five of them to Weather Underground where they are put into the current weather rotation of Wunder Photos.

Max waits patiently for me to get off my ass and feed him and Titan.  I like to announce ‘feed the dog’ around their dinner time.  They usually start begging and wooing at me.  Tonight, Max decided to sit pretty behind his daddy, look sweet, and waited patiently.  They are so rotten!!!  We sure love our boys!!

This picture of Max and Titan playing ‘bite the snout’ catches Titan posing as an evil fiend.  He is advancing on Max with his ears flopped out and his mouth as wide open as it can get.  Max is hunkered on the bed in launch position as if teasing Titan to put Max’s whole head in his mouth.  The boys love to play!  They have always loved using our bed as their wrestling ring – No Holds Barred.

I love checking out the sky for photo opportunities!  I think it’s really cool to be able to see the moon in the sky while the sun is still shining.  For the past week or so Venus has been making appearances in the early night sky as well.  This picture is one of the moon in the pre-sunset sky with a few fluffy clouds in the view.  I have shared a few of my pictures on Weather Underground (Wunder Photos).  This picture received pretty good ratings from other Wunder Photographers like me.  I’ll continue to keep an eye to the sky.

Max rolls on his back, kicking his feet up in the air, with a woobie in his mouth.

Today’s picture is of a happy Max.  He is shown here with a plush peppermint woobie in his mouth, laying on his back, growling and kicking his feet in the air.  Out of harness, both boys are all dog.  Max turned 6 on December 27, 2008 while Titan turned 8 on September 14th.  Both boys still have plenty of puppy life in them.  Mississippi, my first Leader Dog, rolled on his back like a frisky puppy at nine and a half on the day he was diagnosed with cancer.  They say that Golden Retrievers are eternal puppies.  Gotta love ’em!!!

For my first picture of the day, I have chosen one from our visit to Albany, NY in September of 2008.  I had never been apple picking in my life.  Adriennah, my God-daughter,  and I picked half a bushel enjoying a couple fresh from the trees as we moved through the orchard.  As we picked from ample tree branches, I could hear Titan crunching on his own treasure to my left.  He commented with a loud belch.  Kristen waited in the car with Brynna.  We brought to the Bennett home: apples, apple cider, apple-berry pie, apple turnovers, and apple cider doughnuts.  It was quite a treat!
