While I like dogs the only experience I've had with what I assume is in the pic was not a good experience. If those packages disappeared I'd blame the dog. ;)

This week in pics.

We start out at the usual place I've been going every week. As usual, I'm only sharing the relatively nondescript images from these weekly occasions.

Figure 1. <Untitled> You may remember pics of this little guy from previous posts. These pics are new though.

This Great Dane is a photographic newcomer. I'm not sure which I like better (Fig. 2 or 3), so I included them both.

These puppies (Figs. 5-8) you may have seen before. I giggle every time I look at these two.

... Continued from previous post.

Figure 9. <Untitled> He seems to be sheltering this camera from the sun. Camera conscientious. I can dig that.

Figure 11. "No discernible subject or purpose" I don't really like this photo much, but I decided to delve into the abstract for a quick moment.

Figure 12. "Trolley reflection study #4."

So now we move on to a friend's going away party during the weekend. Someone brought a puppy, so of course I insisted on taking a photo.

After the party I took the bus home. Well, not quite. I missed the last bus at my transfer point. So I decided to walk the rest of the way.

L1000617.webp

Figure 14. <Untitled> Taken on my walk home. It involves traversing a canyon (there is a road at least).

L1000621.webp

Figure 15. <Untitled>

When I got back to my own neighborhood (see Fig. 15), I passed a family of neighbors out with their adorable, yet thirsty puppy. I was pretty thirsty myself after hiking up that canyon (I'm still out of shape). I decided against waiting to drink the puppy's leftovers (I've had worse), and instead continued a few doors down to the neighborhood pub.

A lot of comments calling it fake/AI-generated and asking for a source.

A couple from a Balboa Park visit about a week ago.

Figure 1. <Untitled> A couple of cuties enjoying Balboa Park.

Figure 2. <Untitled> A shot from one of my more frequented bus/trolley stations. I like the tones. It's good for B&W pics.
