I sit on the floor to take a light hearted portrait of me, Fey and her two puppies. They jump all over me, sniffing my ears and kissing my nose. Fey sings about us, me sitting and them jumping.
The aperture of my heart focuses, then opens. Light floods in. Soft wolf paws enfold my heart.
We go for a walk.I can smell the rain approaching. The wind’s hand gently enfolds the giant blue-gum tree, shaking loose a few leaves. Together we whirl downwards.
The cicada clears its throat and starts chanting. The wind’s grip tightens. It starts shaking the rattle. Shaking and shaking, softly then faster. My heart leaps up and joins the dance. Branches are swaying together; thousand of leaves stamp their feet together. Heart beats accelerate, chests heave. The dancers swing around. They breathe as one. Faster, nearer, closer, further.
The first raindrop falls. The dogs run ahead. My eyes follow leaves twirling across the sky.
Then I run.

I love the pictures! And the images of walking your dog and the rain storm drawing nearer and nearer.
I remember the rainstorms of my childhood in the "ou Traansvaal".
I am grateful for the lessons my dog, Lady, has taught me.
When everyone is irritable and getting on your case, WAG YOUR TAIL AND SMILE.
I hold you in love.
i love these pictures. the sweet doggy paw against your face. and your face...perfect.
