A short sortie to capture a shot of a shortie. That's just the right amount of sibilance, don't you think? Just like far-eastern cuisine needs at least three S's to make it sing ... shrimp, Sukiyake and soy sauce ... the three essential S's. That proclamation was made by an Italian so I can't take credit for it. What has all this to do with your co-operative shortie? Absolutely nothing! I heard a Screech owl again last night while the snow was coming down. I walked into the dark woods to investigate but then it stopped calling. Being in the woods, in the dark, while it's snowing is spooky. Yes, I wore rubber boots.
