The sounds of the bridge traffic fill Astoria Park. People are out running, walking, exercising and enjoying the morning. You and your beautiful black and white dog (part border collie?) lie side by side in the grass near the track, peaceful and at rest. You are lying on your back with one leg crooked over the other. The sky is lite, overcast but bright. The air is warm and full of moisture. Still, there is a slight breeze coming off the water, and the humidity is being wicked away for the moment. Your right hand is on your friend's flank petting him softly (advise on dog's gender and I will revise:-). The dog's gaze is on you alone. You turn your head to him, so that for a pause in time the two of you are in a world of your own. Simply looking at one another. This is a perfect moment captured only by your memory and the virtual camera of a stranger passing by.
