Changes

 Shoulder injury, Covid, etc. These things have wrought changes. Of course they have.

The shoulder injury is mostly healed although it still causes trouble with drawing a longbow. The discovery that using a thumb ring with my composite bow is still an option. Something about the rotation of the arm with this method circumvents the injured area. At least it seems so.

The bow is a Scythian replica, made for me in Hungary. I have a nice belt quiver as well, which even has a tree of life or something similar tooled into it.

This old Ranger has traveled widely in her time. To lands East of Rhûn and the Bitter Sea, to the South to Far Harad where the stars are strange. Into the far North where the ice folk live. I have met with those of Khand, Easterlings, Wagon Folk, and the Haradrim, among others. 

Small wonder then if I have chosen an eclectic mix of kit over the years. 

While I turn more to harp and flute than to sword and bow these days, I still have the ability to sting at need. 

It is a strange thing, to wander the roads and paths of the world. A strange, wonderful, beautiful thing.
