the capture

Yes, indeed I did back up on that one-lane dirt road for about a quarter of a mile because I didn’t think this was something that needed to be left un-photographed. (A more observant photographer probably would have managed to stop the moment it came into view. But I needed some time to decide if it was worth the effort to back up.)

I mean, it’s sort of a cliche to photograph a tumbleweed caught up in a barbed wire fence, but I guess it’s a cliche for a reason.

richard, in the sky

Some people see bunnies or faces or dragons or castles when they look at the clouds.

I am not one of them. I mostly saw a formation that I named “Richard” – if you seen what I mean.

daughter of the clouds

Lately I’ve been missing shade trees, specifically the dappled light under them, the sound of the leaves in a breeze, the way it feels cooler under them, and how they feel like an invitation to sit a while. I don’t know where this longing is coming from: I’ve spent most of my life living where shade trees aren’t really a thing that happens unless you have to foresight to plant them yourself. But it’s definitely something on my mind.

But on the other hand, a bunch of trees would block these kinds of views.

monday – friday

All I know about Jonathan, who died at this rural intersection, are his birth and death dates.

He was born on a Monday and died on a Friday.

Separate from his cross, there were three others; they were wooden and unmarked.

sky: afire

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way: I went to Maine. There was a spectacular sunset one night.

There was other stuff too, so stay tuned. But also know that that nothing else I post is going to be quite this dramatic.
