The Surveyor - a photo on Flickriver

The Surveyor

Profile portrait of Archie surveying some of his territory and ensuring it is safe.

When he first had the outside world to explore he was bold and hopped over fences until we heard an almighty ruckus and Archie flew over the fence having received a pierced ear. Poor Archie has not ventured outside of the garden since and cowers whenever a neighbouring cat comes into the garden.

He does, however, seem to be enamoured by one cat that very occasionally appears in the neighbours garden. An intact male that we call Barry, which may or may not be his name, and Archie spends time every day looking through the fence to see if Barry is there. It is a fine 'bromance' indeed.

I had to pick up my camera at least once in February on my path to rekindling my relationship with photography and this is the result. Photography twice in two months might not sound like much but it is a massive improvement on where I was last year. Archie may have some form of kitty trauma but my PTSD is complex and a difficult hurdle to overcome. Baby steps.

Thank you all so much for your love and support throughout this difficult battle to reclaim my life from trauma.

Best wishes.
