Skippy

~ Skippy ~

My son and finance recently moved to a new house on the edge of a golf course which abuts a lake where there is a large swathe of open land.

When we drove out to visit the other day I met two of the other residents...

Skippy

and Skippy's mother
who were enjoying a late afternoon munch in the sunshine.

I walked up towards Skippy and his mother watched me balefully,
grass hanging out of her mouth.

I was having trouble getting a focused shot with my little 'point
and shoot' and eventually mother tired of the game
and told Skippy it was time to...bound off...

First Mother

then Skippy

...across the road into another vacant verdant grassy area
where they abruptly stopped still, turned and stared at me
as if to say... "and what will you do now?" ...
