Floating in the Sky...

You may remember that we spent an extended time in the Utah Desert at the end of October and start of November. In light of our new puppy, it's been blowing my mind to know that he had been born at that time... but we didn't even know it. We had our fabulous Labraduo without having any idea that Hachi was headed our way!

His mom is mostly chocolate Lab, and she gave birth to Hachi and his siblings out on the streets somewhere in Texas. They were still homeless while we were soaking up the sun in Utah. Thank goodness for all of the generous people who saved his mom's life and the life of her puppies. Thanks to those people, our lives intersected with Hachi's weeks later.

In the middle of our trip, we spent time at the most remote place of this trip. We were camped in a broad valley surrounded by unusual geological structures.

These structures made a eye-catching views from our camp.

In the next photo, you can barely see our LabMobile. The shadows  cast by the stunning walls looked like fingers reaching toward the Labmobile. They had almost reached our camp at 3PM in the afternoon.

At night in the desert, I love to photograph the stars from the van, with the distinctive geology painting an incredible picture at the horizon. I made those photos into a time lapse video showing the movement of the starts in the sky.


Many thanks to the LLB Gang for hosting the blog hop!!!

  2. I see shooting stars in the time lapse, it really is beautiful. I sometimes think about our lives the way you did about Hachi and your future connections. I do it with our new BB and with Bob and I. there are so many small things that cause a connection to a connection. when bob tells me stories of his youth, I think there he was in PA doing this and I was 8 years younger doing that, and on and on... I am so glad the people resuced the mom and her puppies and Hachi came to live with you.... we believe Big Boy was meant to come to us....

  6. I especially loved the clouds moving through at the end. It's tough to think of little Hachi and his family living on the streets, but so wonderful to see the life he has now. ♥

  13. It is weird to think of where a puppy was before you even knew they were going to be your puppy. So glad you found Hatchi and he is working out so well in your pack.
