Photography: Hit the Road

“How blue is the sea, how blue is the sky,
how blue and tiny and redeemable everything is, even you,
even your eyes, even your imagination.”
—Mary Oliver, Why I Wake Early

I’ve not been posting much. I’ve not been reading much. I’ve started rewriting my middle-grade novel, a fictional adventure story of Thor’s daughter. This means I will be less active here for a bit, but I’m not going away. I’m still around. I’m still moving.

These photos are from a brief trip I took yesterday to pick up my son in Chico. The sky showed me all the ways blue can be and how many clouds it can hold. I only found one spot to pull over as many of the sideroads were flooded from the recent storm, but I like these photos. They tell a story. Which one speaks to you?

  12. Well, the more you know the landscape where I’m from, the Santa Clara Valley, you know where I’d take roost. Oak trees abound in that vicinity, no farther than over my backyard fence to one of the more ancient ones. Lure enough, but then throw in the mystery, the unseen base and roots of that number one photograph. As Holmes might say, “the game’s afoot.” Did he say that? What’s unseen always begs to be seen I think. Nice work Bridgette.
