Yesterday’s picture of wide-open spaces and a comment from a fellow Plains dweller made me start to think about how closed in everything felt when I lived in New Orleans.
And that made me look back at pictures from my last trip to the city, in 2010.
I found these sad flowers at the Metairie Cemetery. Even though they are plastic, they still look wilted.

It took me a while to know this about myself, but once I figured out that I needed horizons and sky to be comfortable, I was a lot more content. That’s what happens when you grow up on the Plains. Oh, sure, I like the mountains. And trees, too. But not for long – after a few days I am ready to get back to these sweeping views.
