Since it's the last edition of Texture Tuesday until 2013, I could not resist posting
a little send-off photo of someone who has no trouble
being 'free & easy.'
You remember her, don't you, that furry one on the left ...
the one who doesn't like the camera in her face?
Pssst. She can't see me very well when she's upside down.
Those curled paws are just the sweetest darn thing and lying head-to-head like that
with her beloved hedgie.
Two black olive noses pointing ceiling-ward ...
just a typical moment in an ordinary day.
Dang, do I love this dawg.
This kind of devotion is no stranger to history ...
I am in delightful company.
Mrs. Walter Rathbone Bacon
Ethel Smyth and Marco, 1891
by Ethel Smyth
I look at these pictures and if I may be so bold to say,
I know what these women were feeling.
Portrait of Elizabeth Jackson, Mrs. Morton Pleydell
Miss Constance Collier
Miss Carter Mullikin, Holton-Arms School, & her Red Cross dog
Portraits of a profound connection to another sentient being, not easy to describe with words.
So I won't try.
'Blessing'
But I know what it feels like ...
I know it in my bones.

and autumn burst. Linking up with Texture Tuesday over
