Running Dogs

Now, that's a political slur not much heard these days.

Zhaan and Molly spent a fortnight with us while Son No 2 and wife went on holiday.

While I was walking them one day, I realised I hadn't tried my hand a panning shots of moving objects since the 70s, and the following day, took a little camera out on our walk.

Here are the results.
Zhaan, at 1/15 sec

1/30 sec gives a better result
I like to think of this blooper as an abstract piece - entitled "Running Dogs"! ;-)

Furless Grandchild B got baptised, and Grandma C made him this cake:
I love the antique look
A bit of sad news now.

Poor Zhaan (now 10 years old) is very ill.  She has a leaking heart valve and is very sick.  We're about to go visit her soon.

    1. Good one, Prof. I'd forgotten all about that one. Youngsters not of our vintage will be puzzled by such terms.

    2. BTW Arthur, the cake is too good to eat. Did you manage to have it and eat it?

    3. Ah, Prof. I think you are playing your Schrodinger's cat mind games with me!

    4. Art, you impress me with your familiarity with Schroedinger's cat. Life, like SC, is fraught with paradoxes. It keeps our minds active all the same.

    5. Prof, every day I wander the byways and alleyways and cul-de-sacs of the Information Superhighway, and enjoy the ideas I find there, the sublime, the profound, the prosaic and the profane.

    1. Thank you, suituapui. Molly's getting old, too. I think she's nine, and Zhaan's ten.

  4. Thank you, baili. We enjoy the dogs' company twice a week, and on those days Molly follow me everywhere.
