How nice to spend a cold sunny afternoon with
close friends. The sunset on the beautiful community - Potomac frozen
snowy field glistened from the glow of sunset spectacle. It’s just
tranquil and beautiful which we old seniors - Mimi, Tom, Jen-Jen and I could
only appreciate how fortunate we are to hold the special moment together.
One
thing that was not perfect is Mimi’s Ellbi (English bulldog) and Jen-Jen’s
Alaskan old husky (the older on - Isabelle) could not get along. The
little one, Mila was having the best time in the backyard where it’s cold like
frozen tundra in Alaska to her (I did not take pictures - it’s horrible to see
both of them fighting and biting while Mimi and Jen-Jen trying to separate them
and save them from killing each other. I was completely frozen holding the
leash for Isabelle. It’s so scary to see them growling and baring their
teeth at each other.
Oh, Well, we say people argue, fight or don’t get
along - Fighting like cats and dogs - It’s all in us too.
It
was too cold for me that day to venture out for photo shooting from her house
after the early dinner. The dog fighting really scared me. I was
trying hard to capture the moment for three seniors together patching up from
the pieces of dogfight. The indoor scenes, Mimi's crying and Jen-Jen's putting antibiotics on both dogs, were not that nice in any
aspect. It’s just not perfect!
Actually
I was thinking to take the pictures of Seneca Creek Park snowy scenes all by myself that
day. Then, Mimi called me that she wanted her Ellbi to have some
companions with Jen-Jen’s two huskies. That’s how the whole episode
started. Oh, when will the spring come? – A sign of cabin fever – the movie, Jack Nicolson’s Shinning came into my
mind.
Well,
I have to wait for another cold winter to enjoy the solitude of self at the
Park. I love that place. Maybe John Denver’s song and the proximity
of the closeness have a lot to it.
