_{As life hangs beside me,
I gather all that I can.
You were never one for confrontation but now,
it lies all in your hands.
--Sharks and Danger.}

It's 10am and winter's starting to take hold. We're both shivering and instead of jumping through the overgrown grass with it's freezing dew to find an escape route with Blue, he'd rather sit by me on the porch. Basking in the sun's morning glow, Kai calmly watches his companion pace back and forth beside the back fence trying to find an escape route. We're both quietly enjoying eachother's company in the crisp air and that is how we remain for what seems like an eternity.

----------
Have you ever just, shared a quiet moment with your dog? It's amazing. A silent, mutual agreement to just sit and bask in the other's existence. I took this picture during one of those quiet moments. Sure it may not be an extraordinary shot but it means alot to me and I'm sure you can relate and understand. Such is the art, the emotion captured and held within this single image.


I like the grey cement, it suits the photo. Kai's an old man, but he still has the puppy spark of the poochini my dad brought home 8 years ago. He's now 9, getting old, but since he's one of the smaller breeds being a whippet, he'll fight through another few years.

I'm gonna miss him when I leave for my adventures.

Anyway, enjoy.
