The other night a few of us went out for dinner at a pizza restaurant that is just a short walk away from our hotel. It was a beautiful evening and when we got back to the hotel parking lot the full moon was rising over the palm trees at the hotel. It was beautiful to see. I took several photos and this was the best shot I could get with my little camera.

I did not have a tripod to help me steady the camera for night photography so I set it set up on a traffic cone that I placed on a nearby curb wall–so I could get the height that I needed. People walking by thought I was a bit nuts until they got up close and saw what I was doing.

Anyway, the full moon makes us all a little bit crazy, eh!

David and Mishref Project Mascot “K-9 Gary”

Here’s a photo of my friend David and K-9 “Gary”.

This stray dog hangs around the project site and is usually there to greet us several mornings each week when we arrive for work. It is very friendly and the local construction workers sometimes share some of their food with it.

Gary Miller wanted to help the dog too, so he bought some proper dog food and sees to it that the pooch gets a square meal on a fairly regular basis. The dog was christened “Gary” in honor of its sponsor 🙂

I’d take “K-9 Gary” home with me if I could. Catherine and Emily would be pleased but I’m not too sure about our 2 cats…… 🙂
