I have decided, for the sake of simplicity, and for the sake of my sanity, to simply keep my daily walk as a humble flickr photoset.

In the meantime, please visit me on my regular blog, field | work.

Still winter here, but soft: I went out without a jacket to walk the dogs. I love the evergreens, am grateful for that subtle color, wonder at what wind, what creature, shook loose these needles.

Hay Creek: the past few weeks I'd be swung low by health troubles, and then the news that a former student passed away. After the funeral, a true celebration of his life, Ryan and I returned to Hay Creek, the first time since summer, and took a walk on the paths. Alone in the sparkling winter air, I looked up, listened to the branches, heard the creak and stir, knew his spirit was with us, was everywhere.
