Mockingbird Sunset
A northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) perches on a powerline, clutching a freshly caught grasshopper in its beak. I captured the moment at dusk, which bathed the scene in a rich orange glow. The bird is nearly silhouetted against the sky—just enough detail remains to hint at its textures and form. I’m pleased with how it turned out; there’s something quietly dramatic about the balance of light, life, and timing.
Bird’s Morning Call
I get all kinds of complaints in my backyard—this one voiced by a bird nestled in the grass. I’m not entirely sure of the species, but my best guess is a house sparrow.

Every structure at Petra, in Jordan, was carved out of the solid rock of the cliffs. Every perfect column. All the intricate details, all of the complex, symmetrical geometry, carved without modern tools or measuring devices, over 2000 years ago. Petra is contained within a valley and its side canyons. In the center of the valley are the remains of a Roman ruin, built by stacking rocks, that pales in comparison.
Good morning. ☕☕☕

I need to pull myself out of this stupor. I haven’t done much in a week—just mowed the grass, and that’s about it. I just added a new item to my to-do list: “Pull myself out of this stupor tomorrow.” There. That should do it.
I’m running late. Charlie’s here, nudging me about mealtime, and I’m only now easing into my morning ramble.
The closet door’s ajar, and my eyes just landed on a short-sleeve poplin shirt—the only piece I still have from my days as a Marine. I wonder what size it is. Small, maybe. Medium at best. It’s well over 50 years old and has migrated from closet to closet more times than I can count, never worn. I couldn’t wear it now even if I wanted to. I’ve graduated in size a couple of times since then. Hmm... why have I held onto it all these years?
