20th November 2013 – vet

14th November 2013 – excitement
Nose pressed to the ground, tail wagging. Criss-crossing his master’s path, short legs pumping. The lead restricts his movement, but never his enthusiasm.

3rd July 2013 – baby bird
It flits fearlessly down at our feet, looking for food. Soft downy feathers with a speckled pattern just showing. Quick as a flash, it darts to the wall, grabbing and swallowing an insect almost before we notice its movement.
30th May 2013 – automaton
Carefully cut pieces, glue and instructions. All three come together slowly, the shape and movement forming like magic. Following a stranger’s design does not diminish the joy of creation.

2nd April 2013 – crows
A murder of crows. The collective noun comes to me, as I watch a small group of them wheeling above the rooftops. Black as night, small shadows against the blue sky, they move like dancers. Why did we name such … Continue reading

25th March 2013 – lap
Curled in a ball, one front paw under her head and one stretched carelessly over my stomach. Eyes blissfully closed, she revels in my stroking. She is settled in for the evening; any movement will be taken as a great … Continue reading
