All the TV news was dismal;

...Into the abyss
I look in to see 
Peeking over, to discern 
Her looking up at me.

And writhley race across the glade.
A lumping cr...

a bushy-maned pony kicks up his heels
amid biting flies in a grueling summer heat.
An elegant cattle egret hitches a ride.
Devouring grassland insects, his dai...

In the blink of an eye
Hair to the wind
Hands to the sky

A vision aglow
At the top of the hill

...The tabby slinkily strutted across the yard
fresh kill held loosely in diamond teeth;
a turtle dove, its tiny head bobbing,
