Photos & Observations

Sometimes photos can't show it all. This is especially true if the photos come from a point-and-shoot-the-phone-camera technique like mine are. I don't have the skills, quick reflexes, or technology to fully tell the story with images. My writing skills are similarly limited.

So here I'll just spill it out on the table. You interpret however you wish. Think of it like some sort of clever puzzle...or maybe just a jumbled mess.

grasslands loop

foggy start

hide and seek with the sun

rain all yesterday sloppiness 

mostly pavement

but not entirely 

water splashes

mud splatters

leaves falling

the sun stopped playing 

burned the fog away

made me sweat

and befriend the breeze

a coyote 

roadrunner

turkeys

bison

a zebra

yes, a living grazing

zebra

and a chimney 

wishing for a home

a good day for coffee

as always

and just the right spot

to unload it all

and sit still

so fueled for climbing 

didn't even stop

when I reached the top 

no view for you 

but dodging wet leaves

made the corner at speed

at the bottom 

an outing

better than

my ability to share it

but if you were here

you would know

but let's make one thing

abundantly clear 

there really was

a zebra

and somehow

there is a photo
