parallels

I don’t even mind the way those wind turbines look against the sky. And what about the way they seem barely tethered below the horizon? Or the way the contrails line up with them?

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.

but we have to find our own paths

I wonder how the water decides which path to take, the exciting and fast one, or the calmer and slower one? Likewise, I wonder how people make that same decision.

(An example of the things I thought about while I stood in some very sticky mud and photographed this stream. Curiously it is also an example of why you don’t really want me to always tell you what I’ve been thinking about when I make these photos. You’re welcome.)
