this is the first one

lokta on flax

it reminds me of what jude hill calls a long cloth

an accordion

and then more have followed

inspired by off-cuts of beautiful handmade papers

and bowls and houses

and landskeins

encolsures for long books can be lovely, too
as well as essential to their protection.

a harvest that continues to become

books and book objects.
a half dozen here.

a valentine came from catherine michaelis
may day press

the event of the week

(besides the *procedures*)

was meeting a bald eagle

on the roadside in the snow

head turned,

those strong eyes are looking straight at me.

the camera gave out and the phone had to suffice,

there's a barred owl that likes hunting at the place i call home

i just missed seeing it again today.
