  1. Milkweed seeds on the wind. Last cut of the year. One last look at the iron weed and ragwort.






  2. Lonesome Mountain Road
    Albemarle County, Virginia



  3. Storm blew through at sunset, Maxfield Parrish clouds tangled and tumbling around like square dancers in pink dresses.

  4. Almost 100 degrees again. Cooled off in the river. Always amazed by all the life underwater right in the rapids.



  5. First rain in months. Mosses turn green in minutes.



  6. Lotus. The seeds came with family from Thailand in a suitcase. Sprouted in a mason jar.





  7. Summer magnolia fills the house with Mnemosyne‘s perfume.



  8. Little snake skin on the steps. It’s rare to find the face intact. They rub their nose on a rough rock to start the peel, then wriggle forward through the opening like peeling off a stocking. So this is the snake inside out.



  9. Playing in creeks again.
    Accidental selfie.


  10. Back in college, my buddy said in early summer you can hear the corn grow. It shoots up so fast it squeaks. I said BS.

    So one night we thrashed our way into a big fleld, far from the road where it was quiet, and knelt down to listen.

    And he was right!

    But we failed to note how we got there. Wandered through that maze of maize in the dark for hours before stumbling out a half mile down the road, – scared, sweaty, dirty, and tired.

    That was a good night.
