contrails

As the sun sets on the last day of 2020, I’d like to think this jet is dragging the old year away with it into the pale blue yonder. The worst year ever in so many ways. We’ll never forget you, 2020, but we never want to see your like again.

These fellows seem to follow me around. They are always in the garden or on the terrace at Gupole and yesterday, this guy was on the balcony sliding doors of our apartment in Phuket. He clearly knew that he made a good silhouette as he checked out the apartment, and he obligingly waved his front legs for me.
