A frosty autumn morning here. 27°F / -2.7°C. The dogs are loving it, but this tree, in particular, seems to be done.

Just saw this little guy outside our front door. Folklore says wooly bear caterpillar bands forecast the coming winter. More brown=milder. More black=harsher cold.

A much longer flight for you than us but they have them somewhat regularly. It was a blast but a bit of a comedy of errors trying to get all the dogs lined up for the photo they wanted.
Whatever their size, they’re still lap dogs. 😁

It is! But we’ve even had them land in our yard on occasion. It’s quite a popular spot for ballooning and there are a few companies that launch from a site just to the west of us. They are regular visitors. Here’s a shot from the spring (with Callie as well).

The wilds of New Jersey! Our driveway is turning into a regular nighttime highway for black bears.

Mama bear and *four* cubs taking a stroll up our driveway. New Jersey ain’t just the Turnpike and Newark Airport. Welcome to the Skylands.

A cool morning listening to cicadas before the heat kicks in again.

PSA to fellow GenXer’s who got their MMR doses way back when. The early measles vaxx may not confer lasting, lifelong immunity! Had a physical & asked my doc about the recent outbreaks & she suggested a titer test as part of my bloodwork. Looks like I’m heading for a booster shot today! Vaxx up! 💉👍

Dawn patrol with the trio. Up and about for early exercise before the forecasted 104°F / 40°C heat indexes hit later today. #GoldenRetrievers #dogsofbsky #NJwx

The Coopmeister is stuck in this contraption for the next few days with a bad hot spot. On the plus side he has a pillow 24x7 and he’s making the best use of it.

Cooper wishes he could snuggle. But the Cone of Shame prevents it! Someone’s got a hot spot.

For #RomanSiteSaturday I give you the ruins of Baelo Claudia on the southern coast of Spain just west of the town of Tarifa. A town built on tuna fishing in the Strait of Gibraltar, it made its wealth from salting fish & garum factories. Photo my own from a trip in March.
