Perpetual Ruminations

New Old Photos

I changed my photo to an old one. It's my Husky, Max, and my wife's Australian Shepard, Bellah, when they were still puppies. They are snuggled up by the patio door, where they still enjoy lying and looking out, always on the lookout for squirrels.

The photo above was taken years ago, 2008, I think. We lived in a small town in eastern South Dakota. Hazel was about four blocks from east to west and three blocks from north to south. We lived on the east side of town, the very first (or last) house. One morning, I woke to a heavy fog and took the picture that graces my blog.

The photo of the dogs reminds me how fast time passes and to appreciate each day. The photo of the sunrise behind the railroad tracks in the fog reminds me to focus on the here and now: "We never know what lies ahead."

I hope the new year is good for everyone.
