Sometimes the heart is the first to go
My friend Ehpem was an excellent host, and I was lucky enough to get to see Victoria through the eyes of a resident. One of the things we did was to walk along the beach at Mt. Douglas Park, picking our way between boulders and driftwood. (Every piece of driftwood was interesting to me since that’s not something I see on the High Plains. I feel like Ehpem may have been less enchanted.)
At any rate, my favorite part of this particular specimen was the way the heart of the tree was gone, lost to bugs or waves or something. It had a nice sculptural quality to it.

It all started here
The storm drain. It all started with a photo of a storm drain. Then some other things happened, and the storm-drain-photographer and I got to be friends.
Last weekend, that blogger, Ehpem, and I got to meet. Ehpem was kind enough to fetch me at the ferry landing; our first stop was the storm drain. It was good to see it in person. And to get to meet Ehpem, who spent the entire weekend driving me around town so I could see in person the things I’ve been seeing on his blog. And so I could make some photos of my own.
Who, really could have possibly predicted all of this from a blog?!

The stars aren’t real
With the clouds obscuring the emerging night sky, two street lights attempt to stand in for the missing stars.
