Dark Horse
“Birds sang, but their arias were brief. Territories had long since been established and there was little energy to spare with fast-growing chicks demanding so much food.
In the hills, foxes slunk home to their dens, stone martens suckled their second litter and rabbits sniffed warily as they emerged from their burrows.
Out on the water, still pink from the dawn, fishermen dropped polished pebbles into the sea - offerings to Neptune, for protecting them from the pirate. Garlands of campi...on and storksbills bobbed from where their womenfolk had already cast their thanksgivings earlier.
Further out still, the cascades of water caused by a lone dolphin arcing in and out of the limpid sea were turned to silver in the burgeoning sunshine.
The fruit on the pomegranate trees which shaded the Villa Arcadia swelled and ripened in the summer heat. The figs grew luscious and sweet.
Wings warmed by the sun, brown argus butterflies, painted ladies, commas and graylings formed a mobile chequerboard as they danced over blooms in search of nectar.MoreLess
