“Shhhhhh, don’t move,” was hiss-whispered to himself.

The chestnut tree’s palmate serrated leaves framed the dog, hard to tell if he, and it was a he because dogs let it all indecently hang down, was a familiar or just ‘a dog’. The vest he wore looked good on him though, a real dog about town seen in the woods.

“I’d do him if he weren’t a dog.” He sighed. “How hard up can I be lusting after a dog, that may or not even be a familiar. Scratching the bottom of the barrel, I am.”( Read more... )

When standing at Dragarnir, further in the ocean, there is an uninhabited islet called Tindhólmur. It looks like some ancient, gigantic size monster and it is fantastic subject to photograph.

After a fortnight's vacation getting home is a sweet welcoming. Dusk is falling and the grass needs cutting but the long driveway protects your property which adjoins a patch of wilderness. Sighing, a few days reprieve before you need to cut it would not hurt and the wildflowers peaking up through the grass hold a charm.

Inside your house the air is fresh, it's late and maybe the small kitchen window got left ajar. A problem for tomorrow. Dropping your bags on the laundry room floor, for washing in the morning, you separate out your smaller bag with the items for the bathroom and stumble through your bedroom to the ensuite leaving it beside the sink. Pulling off your clothes and stepping into the shower, the hot water sluices away the dust of the long trip. Sleep and the bed is a potent lure. Looking into the dimness of the bedroom, light from behind you falls across the floor. A pleased hum comes from the darkness.
Seen by the bed ...
