Servant to elderly felines; expert hermit; wordworker in a specialized niche; true blue in a blue state. Post mostly photos, once in a while something political, but mostly a break for you from the daily anguish. All my photos unless noted.

From the 2010 Groton House horse trials: A contestant so eager to get galloping over the course, he chose to leave his rider behind.

As graceful as a dancer.

Two views of a turkey that would strut about, totally unafraid of people, through the yard and fields of the barn where I boarded my horse.

What a lovely capture! Your camera must have blazingly fast shutter speeds.

From 2010, when I used to go to the local beach in the off season, a time when horses and dogs are permitted to be there, and take photos. I don't know the name or owner of this handsome horse, but I hope they're still enjoying beach rides together.

Works for me, every day, although it can lead to some tense negotiations with my cat.

A few days later, and they're emerging from hiding. Sammy's coming along much faster and will buzz around my legs when I'm fixing food. Barnaby is still scared but is coming out into the open.
Barnaby feels safer in the cat cave, keeping watch.Barnaby huddles with Sammy in my reading chair.Barnaby stays close to his cave, keeps a wary eye on me. Sammy's more confident being closer but still alert.Some minutes later, as I sit quietly reading, they both relax.

A closer look at the two new cats: Barnaby behind the litter box; Sammy nearby -- he's braver.

That's an elegant shot, well worth getting your feet wet for.

The new guys hide together, eat, and bat at the line of play toys I'd put out.

Dammit, woman, you wrote Wolf Worm and I just read it and holy guacamole but you HAVE to keep writing. Yes, I'm selfish. Deal with it.

From decades ago, my late QH, visiting a friend's farm for the summer, met her homebred colt, who'd never seen another horse besides his dam and was fascinated by this stranger in his home.

The idiot in chief doesn't know, doesn't care, and will demand his performative pseudo-warrior in charge at Defense -- excuse me, WAR -- send in the Marines.

Oh God they're really going to try to seize Hormuz with boots on the ground. What a horrible waste of those young men's lives.

When you want to play with your favorite toy but it's at the very bottom of the toy basket, and by the time you dig it out you need a nap.

[eulogy cont.] Commander slipped swiftly, peacefully into surcease from pain. He died with dignity, with his pride and spirit intact, and with a cookie in his mouth. /end
