Great Horned Owl, Mother of Two, Pancho Villa State Park, Columbus NM, March 29, 2013
That's all folks
I quit. It's pretty obvious I've run out of steam.
I made my first post here on November 15, 2007 - the day I left Red Rock on this long ride. The ride continues but the it's time to retire the Journal.
I've been playing around with my photography a bit and have started a project to rebuild my old http://jhcoxon.com website into a place to show some off it off. Please come by now and then and see what I'm up to over there. Including a bit about this owl family.
Thanks for your faithful visits over the years,
John

Waiting
I remember walking in art galleries, through the nineteenth century: the obsession they had then with harems. Dozens of paintings of harems, fat women lolling on divans,turbans on their heads, or velvet caps, being fanned with peacock tails, a eunich in the background standing guard. Studies of sedentary flesh, painted by men who'd never been there. These pictures were supposed to be erotic, and I thought they were, at the time; but I see now what they were really about. They were paintings about suspended animation; about waiting, about objects not in use. They were paintings about boredom.
