you know that thing when out walking
the same way for months you see a thing
you have passed so many times without
noticing

then when you do
it is blaring obvious
it is there rejoicing in itself
and you wonder how you ever missed it

i saw it yesterday
paused and went
over to look
to photograph to be inspired when a
voice said hello

another early walker
have seen her before
a lovely face
and her little dog

we spoke
walked on
and i never took that picture
james

so will go back today

it has beautiful spots james

while i like any pattern that includes spots
and any embellishment that is bows you
know

yet
i don’t know why
only as i say that
i think i may do

i guess that is a story for another morning
james

i am hoping your bike is home
