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.

the sky has a big personality
There was a lot of weather going on that day: it filled up the whole sky, which is saying a lot.

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.

lenticular
When you’re in a group of photographers that drive like hell (on one-track roads)(that sometimes have sheep standing in them) to get to the beach just in time to photograph the sunset, it’s easy to tell the members of the group who know their job, focus on the task at hand, and photograph the sunset.
Then there was me: I can’t follow directions very well and/or am easily distracted by something shiny. And it this case, I saw the tiny bit a lenticular cloud (my second favorite cloud) over there on the eastern sky and it was sufficiently shiny to get my attention.
