Nothing to say
no one to hear
a hundred birds singing
no clouded blue
no need to constrain
in lassoed words
the first pheasant cough
just look listen sigh
sun fills every crevice in earth
stone and the fissures of the skin
touches bone
fires blood
nothing to give but thanks
nowhere to go but out
face uplifted
smiling.
Sounds like the sun is back on your place too, Jane! Congratulations, and enjoy the day! Michael
It has been. Rain again tomorrow though 😦
Maybe Britsh weather has located you in South France. Lol
It’s just making up for lost time 🙂
🙂 British weather is following Britains, wherever they are. Lol
There are far too many of them here!
Some days you can simply appreciate the beauty around you.
Yes, and we ought to try it more often.
I would have an idea for better care of the animals. You certainly know these devices against martens, which crunch hoses in the cars. How about using such ultra-frequency devices in such a way that the animals can escape for them, and can no longer be shot. 😉
They could try that with the organised hunting with hounds. It’s more difficult in the coutryside where there risks being a man with a gun behind every hedge. Where would you chase them to?
Only far away from the hunters.
They’re everywhere!
Sounds sad.
There are fewer of them this year. I’m worried they’re preparing some massive offensive.
You are meaning the hunters, or the animals? 😉
There are fewer animals and I’ve seen far fewer hunters, but I worry they’re plotting some massacre, keeping quiet because there’s a possibly going to be a referendum about animal welfare. Their massacre will be silent and nasty.
OMG, this sounds really sad. Maybe they want to get more beef.
😦
Horrible. The next virus should go on hunters.
Well, they’ve got old age creeping up fast already 🙂
Lol – You are very wicked this way. Jane! But, thats true. Before they are stored in a nursing facility its not of need to shoot down our lovely animals.
True. And there’s no law that makes them take senility or eye tests to own a gun. They can be barking mad and blind as bats and still go out to hunt.
What? They are really not tested again? As i remember from here, they do. Otherwise a lot of licensed gun owners seem to have not registered riffles too.
No, they can go on shooting even when they’re blind in one eye. There are probably an awful lot who don’t have licences. I don’t imagine poachers bother to get one.
