There he is- resplendent
in his black and tan coat
-aware of his handsomeness
He poses for the camera
-giving me-first, one profile
then the other
as if doing me a great favour
I click dutifully on my camera
-anxious not to try his patience
He’s bored now-distracted by something
-throws me an exasperated look
and bounds across the field

I think he spotted a rabbit!
