one horn
If you want to know the truth (and, really, of course you do), I didn’t even notice when I made this picture that the bison had only one horn; by my calculations just now, that reduced my chances of getting gored by half. But even if I had known, I still would have stayed in the car to get the shot. I’m pretty sure a one-horned bison could still do some damage.

the day the sky was busy
There’s a lot of sky out here in my part of Texas, and on days like the other Sunday, most of the best scenery is found by looking up.

the temptation of the edge
I’ll end 2024 with this, a photo that has deep personal meaning to me.
And the only other thing I’ll say is that sometimes all it takes to keep going is the thinnest line of light.

eventually they became each other
It seemed like it was at the point where it was hard to tell the castle from the cliff. But to be fair, the castle has been abandoned since the 1730s so it’s not like all this happened in a few year’s time.

what can wax can wane
It was a tough day. It was cold and stormy. I wasn’t at my best, for those things plus some other stuff. It looked like our already-brief stop to photograph this castle was going to be rained out by that kind of rain that’s mostly sleet, falling so sharply that it hurts.
But there was a sudden change – the clouds lifted for a bit and looked dramatic long enough for a photo. I know that summarizes Scottish weather, but it’s also a reminder to myself (and to you, too, if you need it) that sometimes you have to just wait out the turns, the phases, the moments without so much worry.
