Ollie going shaggy for the winter begins:
Picture of a brindle Scottish Terrier's head from the back. His neck fur and the base of his ears are very fluffy and soft. The tips of his ears have been trimmed so he looks a bit fox-ish, or like a Cairn Terrier. Soon he will look like a tiny sheepdog.

When things are happening around you, but you are just a small dog.
A brindle Scottish Terrier sits in the middle of a tan carpet and looks quizzically up to the left of the camera. He has not been asked his opinion about the goings on. A brindle Scottish Terrier sits with is front paws on the arm of a dark brown couch. He is watching the human activity and not sure he approves.

Sleepy puppy.
A brindle Scottish Terrier lays on a bright red throw on top of a couch backrest. His nose is hanging over the edge of the couch cushion and his beard is poofed out around his snout. The bright yellow clasp of his collar is visible between his ears, which are very fuzzy. His eyes are closed and he looks very comfortable and content. He snoozin.

It gets dark so quickly now, lights are mandatory for the after - work walk (from last night):
A brindle Scottish Terrier sits facing away from the camera. He is partially lit by the porch lights but the night is very dark. He is wearing a red LED collar. Safety first!

Was trying to get moon pictures the other night. One came out well, but the other doubled up strangely, but still looks kinda interesting...
A faintly yellow full moon against a greyish dusk sky. It's a clear picture and you can see the moon's craters. Honestly, the best picture I've ever gotten of it. Picture of the full moon against a black light sky. The ends of a few mesquite branches are in the foreground. There's a doubling effect on the moon, with one being a bright circle of light and the other a paler circle that shows the moon's details. Never had that happen before in a picture!

Sunday naps, Scottish Terrier style.
A brindle Scottish Terrier sprawls on his back with his head on a rumpled, multicolor blanket and his lower half on a dark grey bedspread. He is deeply uninterested in anything other than his nap. Another angle on a snoozing brindle Scottish Terrier. His beard is wildly disarranged but his nose is very boopable. Out of respect for the nap, boops will have to wait.

A brindle Scottish Terrier looks up towards the camera. He is sitting on faded pink pavers. His ears are very fluffy and his beard needs maintenance. His nose is very boopable.

It's dark by the end of the evening walk now, so it's light-collar time.
A brindle Scottish Terrier sits with his back to the camera. He has a red glowing collar on. It's dark in the distance but the porch light extends just beyond him.

Went on a walk with Ollie this evening:
A very faint rainbow can be seen among pink and peach wispy clouds in an evening sky. A bunch of trees are silhouetted against rain clouds reflecting an orange sunset. There's a patch of pale blue evening sky on the lower right. A brindle Scottish Terrier sleeps on a patterned rug after a vigorous evening walk. We got rained on a tiny bit on the way home, which meant we had to walk very fast! Ollie doesn't like getting wet and is a disgrace to his ancestors.

Edit button when? Annoying autocorrect words in my photo alt-text are death by a thousand irritations.

Had an old, rotted Palo Verde tree in the driveway cut down today. It was a safety risk and any time we had storms this summer, we'd watch it with finders crossed. While it's good that it's removed, it is the end of an era - Dad planted that tree over 40 years ago.
A brindle Scottish Terrier with a bright yellow collar sits on a red throw on the back of the couch. He is watching the tree guys to make sure they know what they're doing. One of the tree guys putting a lot of trust in an old rotted tree by sitting on it while he cuts branches. He was standing at the very end of the branch/trunk earlier while sawing off smaller branches and it was bouncing with his movement. It was never wracking to watch! A very small but if stump pokes out of the gravel at the end of the driveway. The tree is gone! A brindle Scottish Terrier snoozes with his chin on the arm of the couch. Now that the excitement is over, his priority is nap.

Post walk porch sitting.
A brindle Scottish Terrier sits with his front feet on a large, flat rock and watches the (out of sight) painters at our neighbor's house. All maintenance work must be supervised. A brindle Scottish Terrier sits on the front yard sidewalk and watches a dog across the street walking its owner. Sadly, I don't think they will come over here to make friends. Glamour shot of a brindle Scottish Terrier with a brushed out beard and a bright yellow collar. The mix of sunlight and shade makes an interesting pattern on his face. He is very handsome. A Vermillion Flycatcher sits on a thin mesquite tree branch. A clear blue sky is visible between the branches and leaves.

Favorite sign at the local No Kings:

If not tyrant, then why tyrant shaped?

Could get a pic coz I was driving. Apparently there are multiple No Kings protests here today, which makes sense given how spread out the city is.

Started working on getting all the unripe grapefruit off the one tree that still produces (the roof rat infestation of the neighborhood means we can't let the fruit ripen because the rats love love love them) and I disturbed this friend:
An indignant praying mantis stalks away over a rock after being rudely although accidentally evicted from a grapefruit tree during a partial fruit harvest. Unkillable cat's claw vines partially cover the rock.

The bird making all this noise is about the same size as a hummingbird. Can't remember what it's called tho.

Lazy day.
A drowsy brindle Scottish Terrier lounges on a grey bedspread. He is wearing a bright yellow collar and his beard is kinda messy. He is showing off the Scottie profile. A brindle Scottish Terrier with a bright yellow collar contorts himself while he naps. His upper half is resting on a round dog bed while his bottom half is wedged between the wall and a bookshelf.

Scottitude: A Scottish Terrier Story.
A brindle Scottish Terrier stares straight into the camera. He is sitting on pink paving stones and early morning sunlight highlights his ears and the left side of his face. He will come inside when he is good and ready, so you can stop calling him.

The light after a rain is nice.
Tree branches are silhouetted against pale orange clouds and a corner of blue sky at the beginning of sunset.

A couple of unusually late summer cactus blooms.
A bright pink cactus flower blooms over several small cacti in a set on porch pavers. There is a small cluster of ceramic pieces off to the left side. The flower has pale pink petals that shade to a bright pink stripe down the petal center. There is pale yellow pollen at the center of the flower that looks like it's flowing in the sunlight. Another pink cactus flower blooms from a small cactus that's almost buried in leaves and mesquite pods. There are a number of large rocks framing the space around the cactus.

Scotties are masters of refusing to look at the camera.
A brindle Scottish Terrier sits with his back to the camera. No, he will not turn around, no matter how many times you call his name or make weird noises. He knows what you're up to.

Scruffy and on the lookout for whoever is doing all that barking.
A brindle Scottish Terrier stands on some paving stones with flowerpots in the background. His collar has a yellow flower on it. He is alert and looking at something intently. There's some dog out there barking; it certainly isn't him.

A freshly washed tortoise roams the yard.
A desert tortoise grumpily crosses the yard. He was subjected to a gentle hose spray to wash off the dust. A brindle Scottish Terrier with a bright yellow flower on his collar stands behind the tortoise for scale.
