No matter how cold it gets,
In frost or snow,
Oscar is always ready to dive into rainbows
And swim in waters of reflected skies of blue.
After all, there’s nothing more satisfying than
Doing what you love.

Hands
at the breast,
hind legs
stretched like an arrow,
he leaps
in his Freestyle
into the blue.
Enjoys
the blue of the clouds,
the floating white
stroking by,
the sharp green
upright
with the leaves applauding
his stance.
No Speedos
and body suits,
but a luxuriant
royal brown,
An Oscar,
fit for a king.
Eat your heart out

Back again to view Oscar and tell you this: your name came up at an early supper here in CO. I told my husband about you and about Oscar (and the children, of course) and this particular shot. I said that your “real” jobs were not as photographer but that your talent surely must also shine in those other important jobs: mother, wife, friend, teacher… My husband and I were having the discussion about how the internet has opened communication to the World. I thought of you immediately – how much I’d be missing without your photos and words. Just thought it worth the telling, Fi – a world away, someone you’ve never met thinks you have a very special talent.
