My first world was far from any ocean: a life amidst the woods, rocky pastures, cows and other critters of a New England dairy farm. That imprint remains despite later decades in cities as a military officer and civil servant. You can take the girl off the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the girl. So, here with fish and mantas are some of the cows, cats, sheep, and other ordinary but lovable critters to have crossed my path over the years.
