Leaf

On my first walk following the isolation edits, I wandered with my daughter, contemplating what all this would come to. The world seemed scarier, emptier, lonelier.

Looking Left in Plague Times

A beautiful Spring morning during the isolation, I ventured out into my garden to start tidying my yard. Over the long Winter, things had fallen from the trees, some things are forgotten when buried under the snow. This windchime grew a beautiful patina and wanted to let Mother Nature continue her work, so I rehung … Continue reading Looking Left in Plague Times
