" ... I must go"


Today is one of hazy sunlight. The air was cool this morning but has moderated somewhat, and gusting winds are keeping me from the porch. The remainder of the week is supposed to be—what else?—rainy. Carolyn, Chris, and Ashley are wanting to have a yard sale this weekend (it was planned for last Saturday), but the weather probably will not allow it.
----
I am about to go completely stir-crazy. I need to be out exploring the unknown and photographing the unseen. The mountains are calling me to come home for a spell, but with all this rain, it is difficult to do much except foster melancholy dreams. To be there is to have the taste of old forest on the tongue, the scents of generations past and present teasing the nose, the sounds of woodland spirits whispering on the air, and the comfort of home deep in the soul ... I am my hills; my hills are me.

"The mountains are calling and I must go."
~ John Muir

I hope this day is one of sunshine in your heart and laughter on your lips.

I would come to your yard sale if I was closer.

Over the next couple of weeks I will be doing a bunch of shooting.
I will be Georgia for Memorial Day weekend and then I start a vacation the following weekend. I think I am going to Alabama for a short roadtrip that week.

I like yard sales; too well! I've learned never to take more than $20 to one because I tend to buy a lot of junk.

Hope you find some good stuff to shoot; Fading America is fading fast around here. Sad.
