New form no edits like writing on the sea floor it swims and unfocuses. I can’t really see what I’m doing but can’t do nothing. Apologies if I don’t reply tp comments.
They were there in the dark of the last evening
lying in the tansy beneath the willows
a hind and her young pne.
Not chased away by the deluge this morning
nor overly bothered by me or dog. hours they’ve ambled back and forth along the stream beneath the trees
Do they know there is nothing in this corner to fear?
No man no gun and baying dogs?
Young one frisks and leaps after high branches
uncaring of rain men dogs
and the turning of the year.
A words a turn of fphrase a buzz of bee
I see a blur of waterworks a stream trickling
from the front of the skull and the trars weep from the sky
a steady heavy plod of grey
is this what will be for months to come?
Underfoot tje daùp is shiny bright with sun fragments
after even the clouds tire and fall apart
and we walk among the treacherous slipperies
hoping not to fall me and dog who sees but hears nothing.
I will be the ears, he the eyes
and he drags me racing up the grassy path
in his head still a steeplechaser.
I hope your eye is better soon. Poignant about you and Finbar.
I saw a deer this morning! 😀
I know what I have now and its not very good. It’s going to be a long time healing then surgery. Finbar might not see me to the end of if 😦
I’m so sorry.
It’s going to be hard.
How beautiful this is you and Finn sharing the senses. Hope your eye will improve soon and maybe the deer will stay a while. 💜
Thanks Willow. The deer are still here, my eye infection is getting better very slowly but Finbar is failing faster.
I am so pleased that the deer are still in your safe haven and that your eyes are improving I was worried for you. As for Finbar like Ruby all we can do is keep them happy 💕
Yes . I don’t want the vet prescribing all sorts of treatments and appliances to keep him dragging on. He’s tired. Intended to run until he drops not drag around deaf and going blind on crutches. I wouldn’t want it for me and I don’t want it for him..
I totally agree with all that 💜💜🙂

Such wonderful distilled images. I think dogs and their human counterparts do often complete each other. Hope equilibrium returns soon. (K)
It’s going to be a long haul.
Hope you are better soon. Lovely pictures.
Hit the bottm on sunday. Clearing very slowly but no idea yet how much damage done.
I am so sorry Jane.
I’ll live. Worse things happen at sea. Its getting me down though how fast finbar is failing. He always was in a hurry though.
Bless him. I feel for you.
It’s tough isn’t it?
Yes, very.
😦
If this what comes out when your eyes are not focused then I am sure we will be treated to something exquisite when you are well.
Take care Jane and hopefully you will be 100% soon.
Trying to get back. It’s more serious than the doctor thought.
I am rooting for your early recovery.
Take care Jane.
Be healthy soon.
Thank you 🙂 It helps knowing that I’m being thought of. I just want to get out of the infernal clutches of hospitals and other people making decisions for me.
You will.

Jane, I posted From Vault of Memories Past.
Don’t even try to read it now. Your health is the most important thing right now. Take care and come back strong. You will.
We are on a long road trip. So my response may be spotty.
Thanks Pranab. I saw the doctor again today and the eye is responding well. I can even see what I’m typing! I’ll be over to read shortly.
Relax. Don’t be in a hurry. We are not getting any younger.
I am on a long road trip. Today is the eighth day. Did 2400 miles(3863 KM) already.
Got there finally. You’re really seeing the country, aren’t you?
Jane, this trip was on the plan for more than fifteen years. In 2008 summer we thought we would do it but didn’t happen. Instead four of us drove from San Jose, California to Calgary, Canada and back. Our eldest one could not go as he was in college. In 2017 I drove alone from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to New Jersey and then to Montreal, Ottawa,, Toronto, Fort George in Canada to Niagara Falls, Fort Niagara and back to USA.
This time due to Covid we curtailed our original plan a lot. Not going to Canada and in US also will be avoiding the deep south. Let’s see what happens.
Mainly restricting ourselves to visit national parks / nature etc and avoiding big cities as much as possible.
I hope you learn a lot from your trip and that it provides you with lots of material!
I learned that people are basically decent.
That’s a good lesson to have learned.
Nature pictures along with wildlife animals always creates another level of ambience with your writeup. Short writing with intense material is mixed in this story. First class writing.
Thank you, Sebastian. I’m pleased you like it.

Finbar and you are a good team. Both coming in peace, so no one has fear. 😉 xx Michael
No, not from us!
