Seamonsters

[bunn]

Last night I dreamed that I was on a beach in the evening. It had been a bright clear evening; now the tide was coming in and the light was fading. I headed back past the rocks towards the car, hurrying a little, as I had parked at the high tide mark. Looking back, I saw something leap in the waves.  I thought it was a dolphin, so I turned on my camera, although the light was poor enough that my photo would probably come out blurred, it was worth a try.

It jumped again, and I saw this time that it was too big to be a dolphin, and darker in colour,  with three long dark fins on its back.  I realised that it must be a seamonster. I pressed the button with the camera set to burst mode, as it disappeared again among the waves.

Then I hurried back to the car to get her moved before the light went and the sea came up to the wheels. I didn't have time to check the photos on the camera then, so when I got up this morning, I hurried to check if any of my sea-monster photos had come out looking good.

Sadly, there were no sea-monster photos on my photo card. There were only these:




I dream about sea-monsters a lot.  No idea why.

I am sorry not to see the photos of your sea monster.

How is Brythen getting on, BTW?

Brythen has bounced back and is doing really well. He has not eaten his stitches, and at the point when he started madly running up and down the stairs, I decided he could have short lead walks. These turned into longer lead walks the time that Rosie decided to play the game of 'can't catch me' and I was a bit worried he'd overdone it, but he had a followup check and he seems to be fine.

Fortunately, he's quite a robust sort of beast.
