I'm just hanging out in the holler today after a fun time in Knoxville last night for the showing of Coal Country at The Square Room...my first experience there and a really good documentary, plus good music and a good-sized crowd. The post-film discussion gave me some ideas for how I want to focus my future blogging on coalfield issues.
I got home around 11 and the moon was so bright I didn't need a flashlight to find my way back into the house. Both dogs came out to greet me; Celie went down to the creek and barked for awhile. I'm sure there were lots of critters out in that moonlit landscape.
Here are some dog photos from our walk today. Leaves are about 80% dropped up here...it was cool and sunny and the dogs were loaded with energy.
Still experimenting with doggie action shots...here's Celie running toward me...
and here she is on the bank of Hudson Branch, sniffing the breeze, though it almost looks more like she's getting ready to howl.
Shadow finds sticks for us to play with every day.
Later I caught him in handsome prince mode.
Last night I experimented with images of stars and moonlight, but none of them came out. The star ones were streaky as I don't have a tripod or cable release, and the moon ones looked like the Eye of Sauron or something very un-moonlike. Here's another image from our walk today...sun coming through a poplar leaf:
