Merry Old Soul

Old King Cole in a blip pinch.

Home from work raced to grab camera to catch blue jays in gold maple tree - Fail! They squawked out of view.

Ran around sun deck and stumbled over dogs to snap the daily 5pm murder of crows in golden autumn sky - Fail! They, too, magnificently squawked out if view.

Feeling bummed.

Then Old King Cole mosaic I made 10 years ago caught my eye. Why hello, old, neglected fellow hanging on the wall unnoticed and pelted by, snow, rain, sun on my deck for 7 years.... And I made you with a collie, before I even had collies. How you faring, merry old soul? You have been taken for granted far too long. Blip done.
