Every time I "toot" an image, I have an intention, a purpose, a plan

Occasionally I manage to hit the bull's eye. But sometimes it becomes clear that I was aiming at the wrong thing. I realize that what I really want is something I've overlooked or misunderstood

It's like I'm trying to hit a moving target. And I've noticed that where I stand is changeable as well

They say the archer gets better with practice, even when his arrows fail.

I deleted this soon after it was uploaded. I had second thoughts -- guessing that neither the words nor the 1878 drawing were likely to be welcomed here. But then, an unanticipated response caused me to think again.

I was thinking compare-and-contrast the Japanese bow (daikyū 大弓) and the English long bow when I downloaded my image from the internet.

Feedback which developed the same compare-and-contrast theme was a big surprise for me.

And so I'm uploading this again.

Maybe there's a place here for some of the things which interest me.
