Casting A Long Shadow

Barley, a dog, walks daintily along the a curb, with bare earth to one side and the gutter to the other.

Since I don’t post photos in chronological order, there’s no feeling that any picture constitutes any particular milestone as I’m taking it. And yet, here we are: this is the 700th BarleyPost (excluding Juniper Fridays in which Barley also appears), spanning over two calendar years. Through it all, Barley’s demeanor and temperament have remained astonishingly consistent: An enthusiastic copilot, a boisterous mute, always up for adventure so long as there’s not a thunderstorm. I hope I’ve done the various nuances of her existence justice with this kaleidoscope of fragmentary portraits.
