how easily
the cloud shadows pass
over the hills

 

 

country roads
Stevenson Rd. -- long look
country road ...
a dog barking... the road goes on and on
vines crowning a tall stump 9-2-16.
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15.
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15..
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15...
near the graves...the grain of wood comes to light...
the beauty of undoing a stand in time...
