Photo: a white dog in the bow of a yellow solo canoe sits facing the boat's stern, and her (the boat's) captain (not shown). She (the dog) has opinions. Her name is Lucy. We (me, the boat's captain) usually do what she says. The lake's water reflects the sky. People picnicking are just visible on the shoreline beyond.

Photo: A white dog lays in bright light in the bow of LaRoeBoat (its interior side kevlar yellow) resting her chin on the canoe's gunnel. The waters are calm, the shore lined with green foliage. The sky is blue, striped with feathery white clouds. There are no crocodiles or alligators lurking, no squirrels erranting, no knights miscreanting, nor cops copping. This, she is confident, is due to her continuous vigilance. "They wouldn't dare," she thinks. I whisper, "It's quiet, Lucy. Too quiet." We glide further into the cove.

Pirate in the Bow
The ever vigilant Lucille watching out for lurking crocodiles and alligators, errant squirrels, miscreant knights, or cops.
