There’s something about cemeteries, I guess, that attracts photographers. You can probably draw several conclusions about this, and probably all of your conclusions would be correct.

And, so, here’s a scene from the San Jose Cemetery, as a summer storm builds up over Lorraine, Jesus, a flock of angels, and her cross.

Maybe you can’t tell from reading the blog, but I have studied writing. Yes! I really have.

I have been fortunate enough to have twice gone on writing retreats at Windbreak House, a writing retreat for women on writer Linda Hasslestrom’s ranch near Hermosa, South Dakota. Linda is an excellent and a tough-but-inspiring teacher; I am fortunate to have had the opportunities to study with her.

This shot is a (very) weathered door on an outbuilding on her ranch. (You didn’t really think I’d sit inside all day and write, when there were obviously things that needed photographing, did you?)

If you happen to find yourself in Marathon, Texas, and if you’ve got a bit of time on your hands while you’re there, you might enjoy checking out the Gage Gardens; it’s a bit of an oasis in the desert, and it’s where I found this fountain.
