weekend images and a message
so, after makng my first run
of poor (wo)man's asparagus
and struggling with my printer
i hooked up hannah's printer
the same as mine
and it's SO much better.
no mistakes.
sigh.
so if anyone is upset with the less than lovely
printing, let me know, mail it back, and i will replace the text pages.

and the shifu that fell apart
wonderful paper, that disintegrated.
sigh.

marks made
this mark,
asphalt crack was extended by something
or someone
to create a lovely loop
which wouldn't photograph well
and these weatherd shingles
seen backwards below
hold on to their red pigment
a strange surface
marked by water and pressure
little jude marks
and green
green!!!
coming on.
nesting close by is a crow family,
they are silent coming and going from the nest,
but i know not precisely but almost,
where they are.
i expect lots of happy crow babies soon!
some people make marks
then they make tracks
high tailing away.
