From June 27, 2012

Yesterday, I looked over my shoulder out the back window around 8:20 and the world bathed in pink light--the piers, the water, the islands, Camp Lejeune and the big cloud emanating therefrom--and I took my camera to the back deck to claim it for myself. As I played with exposure, Clyde tiptoed out after me. He took a quick look, made a general inspection of the premises, and let Adella know it was time to go out again. His inner poet was trumped yet again by the business side of himself--or he knows, like the wisest among us, that being there is everything. Even if it's a business trip. 


P.S. The Sierra Club just launched a powerful new web tool called My Piece ofAmerica that allows you to share a photo of your favorite place outdoors and take action to protect America's wild places. I wanted to share mine with you here. After you've looked at my photo, you can share yours and learn more about how to protect America's wild places.
