Whither? Ether.

Herself saves a variety of photographs on her smartphone.  She keeps recent pictures, but also maintains a set of some of her older favorite pictures as well -- of loved ones and pets -- for viewing whenever needs require.  Occasionally we find inspiration for a post within the pictures; devoid of a particular subject for today, we opened the phone to peruse the contents of the gallery to see what might be useful.

Except most of the pictures were missing.

Oh, dear.  We have absolutely no idea how that happened.  A glitch in the works somehow. Most of the pictures are backed up on the computer, but not all of them were. They've disappeared into the ether, it appears.

Technology.  It often escapes us.

We'll be spending a bit of time today backing up the things that are still present (and backing up the computer, too, for good measure).  Then we'll have to put our favorite pictures back on to the phone -- assuming we can locate them.

For today, here's one that was mercifully backed up onto the computer:  Tiny Dog displaying her disdain for clothing.  It's a picture that always makes us smile, and so the picture must be handy on the smartphone, just in case a smile is needed.

If you smile when you are alone, then you really mean it. ― Andy Rooney
