The Other Day

Fishie, my pet angel fish that has been with me for quite a number of years, died the other night.

A lot of memories.

Fishie never took good pictures, it wasn't just the tank's glass and the background, I think the big camera lenses were scary.

I am not a person who keeps a pet much larger than a fish, it's too easy to become attached to even something as small as a little fish, and so it's just as well not to. Fish in general are good pets, they are not expensive to keep, there is little maintenance besides changing the water in the aquarium.

And I remembered to say some prayers quite often whenever I passed by the aquarium. So Fishie did a lot of good for a fish.

Speaking of the soul of man, which ought to aspire to God alone, he cried out, "Does the fish seek the trees and the fields? No; it darts throu...

In the meantime

God willing, I will be blogging more about Touchkeys in the coming days. In the meantime here is a a photographic interlude.

Fawns in the Rain

The fawns which visited not too long ago returned during the rains the other day. There's flooding down by the river, but I am on a safe incline. I hope and pray the poor folks down by the river come out of it all without harm.
