Reflection, Sandhill Crane, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, February 5, 2010
If I stand right .... here ....
And hold my leg just .... so .... my reflection will align with those weeds in the neatest way. How cool is that?
Cousin Ken alerted me to this magic in the picture in yesterday's post. Somehow I had missed it entirely.

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.
