A German Shepherd Dog lying on wood chips. He has a red firehouse type Kong toy between his front legs. His tongue is sticking slightly out of his mouth, and his front legs are spread forward at a slight angle.

Thanks. Been an active vacation day, but things finally slowed down.

Next up: star gazing on a clear night, away from light pollution.

Arrived up at the family cabin, and already had a bald eagle do a fly-by on me.

I try to get up to northern Michigan a couple times a year. It's a place where I can get away and center myself.
