Monthly Archives: September 2012

When I went to bed last night, they predicted 0% chance of rain and mostly sunny skies. Don’t let this photo fool you! They got it wrong again. Dad and I headed to the Basset Arroyos to get away from … Continue reading →

The summer of 2012 sure was a hot and dry one. Surprisingly the fall colors are flourishing. Bark about beautiful. Dad and I headed down the Mickelson Trail for some walking, treating, reading, and then a hike into Sheep Canyon. … Continue reading →

You gotta look around this morning. Yup, plenty of fall color to see. What do you think of Sheep Canyon? I had an excellent hike with Darin and dad on the Mickelson Trail with a side venture into Sheep Canyon. … Continue reading →

We’ve got some nice fall colors around Edgemont this year, too bad the blah sky continues. Where’s a Ponderosa Sky when you need it? At Summit Tree Camp I could almost fool myself into thinking that there was a Ponderosa … Continue reading →

Bark about a lot of pictures to post today! You see, I was busy getting the colors right on the Sony NEX-7 using Capture One. My comparison was made to the Canon 5D II using Digital Photo Professional. It wasn’t … Continue reading →

While sunning myself at Summit Tree Camp, I wanted to point out to you that Edgemont isn’t exactly the fall color capital. I guess that I woofed this before. Still, there is that copse of trees in Sheep Canyon. They’re … Continue reading →

Here I am in the High Plains on a nice autumn day… and here I am in the White Draw fire burn area on a nice autumn day. I had to think about the difference as I rested at the … Continue reading →

On these cool, crisp autumn mornings I think a hot breakfast sandwich at Howling Rock is just the ticket. Don’t you? Lots of soft light today because of high clouds. Along Red Canyon Rim Trail the soft light muted the … Continue reading →

Ponderosa Sky this morning! Yea!!! And as always under that beautiful Ponderosa Sky, Summit Tree Camp offered its stupendous view. It was a busy day in Edgemont with football, volleyball, dinner on the bridge, and the car show, which included … Continue reading →

How about this? Yup, still some Prairie Coneflowers flowering along Red Canyon Rim Trail. Of course, the Gayfeather flowers continue to brighten the drab, sooty ground. Beautiful morning for hiking and a great afternoon that started out with taking Abigail … Continue reading →

Once again our early morning jog took place under a gloomy sky…blah! But, by the time we had hiked about half way on our Mathias Peak hike the sun finally came out. It made for some great views of yours … Continue reading →

It’s depressing to think of how the sky looked on our jog this morning. It certainly wasn’t the ‘sunny’ day forecast. BUT! dad and I found plenty of sun up at Custer as we hiked to Little Devil’s Tower. And … Continue reading →

Up on Cheyenne Valley View, dad and I relaxed under a beautiful Ponderosa Sky. I think that I should name this chair spot, Slant V Chair Spot because of the distinctive Ponderosa trees behind the chair. On a further note … Continue reading →

Bark about a difference! Here’s the view looking north from Peninsula of Red Canyon (you can see Red Canyon Overlook as the second ridge in the background). And here’s what the world should look like on a mid September day … Continue reading →

Puppy oh puppy, I get around the wildflowers and I think of George. Like this photo of George from 2007. George and dad were on Windsong Ridge after their early morning jog. George took a quick dog nap. Bark about … Continue reading →

It sure wasn’t a Ponderosa Sky this morning even though the sun could be seen. I guess you’d call it soft lighting, which was apparent at Summit Tree Camp during our hike. Summit Tree Camp sure has a terrific view. … Continue reading →

As dad and I were hiking Red Canyon Rim Trail – under a fabulously blue sky – I paused to remember George at the airport on the evening of September 14, 2007. Look at that tail! That’s a true basset … Continue reading →

After our jog fog clouds started to roll in on Edgemont. Dad and I escaped them by driving to Igloo Bride, where the clouds would dissipate before reaching us; kinda fun watching that! And as always, it was fun to … Continue reading →

Out at the Basset Arroyos I was thinking of George on this day in 2007. (I must add that once again the Sony NEX-7, 50mm lens, and Capture One sure bring out the detail of my handsome profile.) George and … Continue reading →

Lot of clouds in the early morning and the evening, but in between we got sun, yes indeedy. Out at the Basset Arroyos I checked out the fall wildflowers. Sometimes you got to get your nose right into’em, don’t ya … Continue reading →

That Gayfeather flower of yesterday needed a basset hound to make the photo so much better. This morning I was that basset hound. Up on Howling Rock I love to look down over the canyon below. It was a fine … Continue reading →

George sang to the Gayfeather flowers along Red Canyon Rim Trail back in 2008. It was a good year for them. In this same spot, this is how it looks today after the White Draw fire. My day couldn’t have … Continue reading →

It was a perfect day for a motorcycle ride to Sylvan, which included a buffalo burger lunch. It was a perfect day to hike Windsong Rise. It was a perfect day to climb up on Basset Smart Bump (on Basset … Continue reading →

Well, I wasn’t up as early as George was three years ago. George looks mighty fine with three flashes, sunrise, and wildflowers. Me, well, I had one flash but no sunrise. The colors still don’t look right in Capture One … Continue reading →

Another hike on Basset Back Ridge with Marion. I stopped to appreciate the flowers while the sun warmed me and a cool breeze kept me from getting too hot. Splendid! We stopped at Magenta Point and watched the Turkey Vultures … Continue reading →

Beautiful morning to visit the Basset Arroyos. We also drove to Sylvan Lake, where Marion bought me a buffalo burger. Then it was back home to take photos of the football team and try for a relaxing evening. George’s 2006 … Continue reading →

Fine morning for getting out to Ears in Wind Ridge and sit under the moon next to a bouquet of Gayfeather. Dad, Marion, and I hiked Basset Back Ridge today. I’m barking you that the rabbits sure get my attention … Continue reading →

Bark about a perfect day to be outside! Down at Igloo Bridge the trains were thundering by and the Gumweed was looking stately. Dad, Marion, and I walked to Circle View Point to enjoy the fine day. Then we headed … Continue reading →

While hiking with dad and Marion, I got up on Howling Rock knowing that it was going to be a great day. And it was! Marion took me to Prairie Berry Winery for lunch and then to Hill City for … Continue reading →

Marion, dad, and I watched the Hot Springs Triathlon to cheer on our friend Lisa. I made sure my cheering was loud! Lisa did a great job, I’ll woof to you. Afterwards we drove to Sylvan Lake for a buffalo … Continue reading →
