Slide Mountain

On a Sunday morning a few days ago, I took The Girl up to Washoe Lake for our daily outing. I did not want to go to our usual spots, it being the weekend.

When we arrived, there was an ultralight aircraft preparing to launch. There were a few other folks also enjoying the bright morning. But there were not too many.

I found a place to park the rig away from everyone else and got The Girl out. We walked about the western shoreline of the lake, her running from spot to spot, sniffing and marking. She dashed back to me a few times, threatening to shoulder my legs as dogs often do in play. We laughed and played a little grabass, enjoying the outdoors together.

I made a few images, the one above of Slide Mountain with a wide angle lens and an in-camera film simulation.

Then we finished our outing and loaded back into the rig. I had things that needed doing.

It was a good day. I think every day is a good day. Life is good.

El Charro Avitia is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Carson at the moment. The food is authentic Mexican, best I can tell. The Margaritas are very, very good. Shot with Fuji X-T5 and Fujinon 18mm f/2 at f/8 using in-camera Kodachrome 64 film simulation.
  • SignalStuff is still a go-to for handie-talkie antennas and supporting parts.
  • Because tariffs are now a thing, I am monitoring them.
  • Lorier watches are a microbrand that are made in the U.S. based on a Japanese movement (at least some of them). They are worth a look if one is interested in mechanical watches.
  • Lochby recently posted an interesting look at journaling prompts that is definitely worth a look at.
  • I am a Flying Pig.
  • This list of 100 best SciFi movies was recommended to me. It is good.
