I fixed the "Hole in My Heart" yesterday. I didn't know I had one, but it got filled.
Lots of fresh air. The ides is past.
The First Day of Spring in Yosemite Valley, 2013.
It rained. I did not get wet.
I got my renaissance fix.
Yosemite, I love ya, babe, God knows I do.
Have another hit of fresh air. Sweet California Sunshine and Shadow.
Let's see some obscured shots from Mister Obscurity himself.
obscure: Deficient in brightness: caliginous, dark, dim, dusky, murky. Not clearly perceived or perceptible: blear, bleary, cloudy, dim, faint, foggy, fuzzy, hazy, indefinite, indistinct, misty, shadowy, unclear, undistinct, vague. Far from centers of human population: back, insular, isolated, lonely, lonesome, outlying, out-of-the-way, remote, removed, secluded, solitary. Not readily noticed or seen: inconspicuous, unconspicuous, unnoticeable, unobtrusive. Not known or not widely known by name: nameless, unheard-of, unknown. Liable to more than one interpretation: ambiguous, cloudy, equivocal, inexplicit, nebulous, uncertain, unclear, vague. To make dim or indistinct: becloud, bedim, befog, blear, blur, cloud, dim, dull, eclipse, fog, gloom, mist, obfuscate, overcast, overshadow, shadow. To conceal in obscurity: hide, submerge. To cut off from sight: block, conceal, hide, obstruct, screen, shroud, shut off.
God forbids "huh? what?" and "I don't get it." Critics!

Justin was there. We met at Lenna's last week. He asked where was Ayshe?
"Turkey," I said. "She's back with Mohammed." No, I just said she left to go back to Ankara and her life as a big-time bridge expert. I hope she understands, if she's lurking, that I was enormously impressed by the similarities in our two lives. It showed me that humans are more alike in ways we can't imagine than we can imagine.
And then I went out to Leidig for an hour to see my other rock bros.
The cliffs are more like us than we can imagine.
And it's real, one more time...

Say M-Ansel, you're getting pretty good with that camera, I'd say. I'll be pilfering your gallery soon.
Keep them coming or going, whichever suits your fancy.

although not a hard man fe dead, Warren would have made a good flame
excitable boy had a good sense of humour and knew his words, didn't care much for authority, not sure of his photographic skills, other than a photographic memory, never reneged

We have not been taking Corsica for Granite. We appreciate it gneissly.
I haven't had time to listen to MM for quite a few days, though. I better do something about that.

my last post got lost - mousie - are you not telling us something?
the bad news is, I cannot remember exactly what I said, so rather than distort history - I'm just gonna let it slide

Becky is the owner of Pacifica. She's a busy lady. Runs the show here in Merced for all these out-of-towners. There's a shot of her and her grandson earlier on with some fabric I bought there.

I shot the moon. With no direction home.
Like a rolling stone.
Unknown except by what it touches, the wind moves thru and around, over, under, and who-knows-where else.
