To Dennis
and Wendy Dreyer,
Anyone
keeping fids and especially greys, cannot be
but
romantic at heart whether they want to admit it or
not.
Or slightly isane, maybe more of the latter.
I
do not profess to be a botanist, but in those 2
sequence
of photos, by the river and channel, and
those
at the end, used the same kind of grass. In the
first
sequences, the grass were some distance away,
separated
by a wide river and much lower down as we
were
on top of an embankment. You can roughly gauge
the
height we were above the side of the river by shot
of
houses of the other side. The adamant refusal of
my
wife to climb down and wade across made those
clumps
of grass looked small by comparison only as
when
we were right up next to them in later sequences.
I
should have extended clicker training to Joy to make
her
more agreeable. Any visual differences came from
different
maturity of bloom and light angle, in
addition
to that difference of distance and height
above
them.
I
regreted making more of effort to Tink than
necessary.
I had my finger holding the reel when I
realised
Tink was snagged. I released it to let it
spin
out as she powered her way to me. That reel
really
whirled. If there were connection joints or
splices
the line would surely snag.
In
other cases, I cringed not knowing to hold or to
pray
as to whether her overflight will return to me
with
beauty or her overflight continues to end of
line.
In this case, I knew she was coming at me.
Even
so, I was worried if she was irritated enough at
me
to give me a poop when she landed. She did not
this
time. At other times in extreme irritation at me,
she
circled tree to spite me and flew back to shit on
me
and the long line allowed it.
I
should be more careful if I wanted to keep my age a
secret.
Our experiences subconsciously reveal our age
when
we mentioned producers of long ago films like
Kubrick.
All the good ones are slightly mad. I do
urge
folks who had never watched chinese martial arts
movie
before like you to watch 'Touch of Zen' by
KingHu.
He is mad enough to make hauntingly beautiful
moves
that defies classification, so you can classify
his
show into whatever category you like to watch that
without
tinge of conscience.

With
warmest regards
