Canyon Towhee, Elephant Butte NM, April 1, 2012
Early morning light
The sun was barely up and I got the pictures but the light was insufficient. There was a female Hooded Merganser on the river this morning having a crayfish feast fit for a queen. There must be a pool here where crayfish survive when the river flow is turned off for the winter. It was a fine moment I wanted to share with you. Ah well...

I Like Writing
I like writing that sounds casual, but I also like writing that rips words apart. I like echoes between languages. I like finding feelings in words, not putting feelings into words.
