Good Thursday my peeps! I feel like have not participated in a CCC in way too long. Which really, has not been that long as it was less than a month ago. I can’t seem to get a handle on the time, lately. Anyhoo, I had plans, big plans for CCC #143 and then did diddly-squat. So this week, how perfect that Crispina chose a photo that I could not only matchy-matchy with but which I could put together with the previous week’s and again matchy-matchy! It takes so little to please me… And I am way short of the max of 150 words so I shouldn’t get in trouble.
What Lies Beyond?
What lies beyond this fence of grass?
Is it safe; can we see?
We cannot help but ask
To the left, lies the golden sea
After which you will find
A town, or rather a piggery
And to the right, don’t be surprised
Are two tall structures
Not meant for our kind
But straight ahead, do not be shy
Chances are, when all is calm
There will be ones like you and I
Nice one, Dale, and rather clever!

Excellent response to the challenge. That was wonderful to find Bambi on the other side of fence of grass. Sadly, a balloonist with two couples along for the ride got blown into power lines strung on structures like you show a few weeks ago. All five died.

Thank you, kind sir.
Oh, how awful! What a horrible accident. Were they electrocuted or the bang against the structures is what did it? Either way. So sad.

A combination of hitting the wires and falling 100 feet. It’s tragic. It had been years since a balloon was blown into powerlines.

I always feel for these beautiful creatures when I see them in the wild. I guess there is the thought in the back of my mind as to what their reality is. Such gentle creatures, always being hunted. And I guess that makes sense since the beauty of this world is always being pursued and conquered, sad to say.
Nicely woven tale of the quiet moments. When gentle creatures can prevail on wildlife to be its guide. Lovely.

B,
They really are beautiful creatures. I can’t help but be in awe every time I am able to be close enough to capture them on camera (I was gonna say on film! My age is showing.)
Glad you enjoyed my little tale. You are so sweet.

It’s a gift, sort of like when you happen upon a Blue Jay or a Cardinal or an Owl. You just want to hold the moment in your hand and “be” in their space.
Loved the tale Q.

It is a gift to be able to witness these beautiful creatures. I think that’s why I try to capture them on film… it’s to keep that memory real.
Thank you, B.

I remember walking alongside a moose when I was upstate many moons ago. Mind you, by “alongside” I mean that I was on the sidewalk and he was walking in the middle of the street. I knew not to get in his space as they tend to be a tad bit particular about the company they keep. But the size of him, just wow. To be thisclose . . yeah, it was a gift alright.
