The woman and the dog who were too far away for the iPhone photograph I wanted, part two: The dog is brilliant – suddenly they are too far away again

I stopped to chat with the woman and the dog. The dog was quite brilliant and claimed to have read every word Chaucer had ever written and recited a few lines from the Canterbury Tales to prove it. I then got distracted by Instagram for a few minutes and when I looked back towards the hill I saw that the woman and the dog had turned around and would soon be going back up it.
This presented a whole new photographic opportunity, but once again they were far enough away to just be tiny, indiscernible dots to the iPhone. I have made a lot of progress recovering from the minor injuries I suffered a while back but I still can't jog or run. Yet, I had to get close enough to get some kind of photograph before they reached the top of the hill. I discovered that if I kept my feet flat and kind of shuffled quickly the pain was minimal. So I shuffled as quickly as I could and just before it was too late and the silhouette of her head and shoulders blended into the shadows atop the hill, I got close enough to take this picture.

Was the dog an English Lit major? They're such show-offs.
I like the way the road just disappears in this picture.
Great photo Bill
