Images of long ago in the Wolkberg (Cloud Mountain) in Limpopo South Africa.

My dogs (1980): Josie and Simone (after Simone de Beauvoir)

My dogs run ahead on the path

Then patiently wait

While I examine a stone

Nice, I wish the picture would have been clearer.

The picture was taken 30 years ago, filed in an album and scanned recently – unfortunately I dont think I can do much to change it

Good post, not keen on haikus myself but appreciate them.

Exquisite, elnavann. Such unremitting loyalty higher, further up the pathway, as we go about our daily workload. The poem gave me goosebumps. The photo’s texture immediately made me think of pointillism, or of years ago, like a favorite LP record with all its history contained in the undersound, which one prefers even though one also owns the updated flawless digitalized CD version! The medium is the message. Kind regards, Pippe.
