things to remember




fireflies in Tennessee
catfish in Memphis
the Oregon Coast. all of it.
New Orleans. all of it.
SOMA chocolate from Toronto
the smell of that bakery in Quebec
the sounds of the bells on the buoys in each little bay
are all firmly imprinted

driving down Highway 1
has just taken 30 years off how old i feel


next week it's back to work
time to bring in the sheep
mow the hayfield that is my garden
and sweep the dust from the studio
so as to get cracking on work for Surface Design next year...

  3. Your photos reflect the wonder of the route, and how much it means to you. They are beautiful. Must feel good to finish up your travels and the teaching and head back to your own work, your own land, and your own bed. That's how I feel after traveling, no matter how wonderful the trip has been.
