dog/frame
Sometimes the line between a brilliant photographic capture and a thing that *almost* worked is thin. Other times the dog’s front feet are off the ground and that makes the photographer laugh (even though she’s not particularly a dog person most of the time) and decide to post it anyway.

spring water
This day was like the best gift you’ve ever gotten.
For one thing: the wind wasn’t blowing. Those of you who are lucky enough to live in “normal” climates, where the wind is “gentle” and “soft” and “refreshing” probably don’t appreciate that as much as do those of us who live where the wind blows almost all the damn time. This day was so calm that it almost didn’t even seem real.
Another other thing was that almost every other time I’ve been here, it’s been packed with people. But this day, this calm and warm and peaceful day, was quiet: there were fewer than five other people in the whole place. (And three of them were scuba divers and were under water it’s almost like they don’t count..)
And that water! Oh, that crystal water.

highway 16 goes both ways
Yes, in case you didn’t realize it, highway 16 does indeed go both ways. From right here, a right turn and 14 miles’ll get you the tiny town of Oxford. If that’s not your deal, you can go left for 2.3 to get to the intersection with Old Willow Road; that’ll open up just a world of opportunities, as long you’re OK with ending up in Willow City. Because that’s the only place the road will take you.

cemetery shack
I am not sure what this thing was…when I spotted it from the other side of the cemetery, I thought it was a caretakers’ shack. But when I got there, it looked like only the door of a shack…and the rest of the shack was nowhere to be seen. But it did make the stop (and the numerous associated u-turns to get there) worth the effort.
