Phonograph

Bored, bored, bored. Unsettled weather, nothing in bloom, winter subjects exhausted.  I have been looking for a three day window of decent weather (i.e. no snow) so I can get up to Colorado and try to find some Sandhill Cranes doing their mating dance.  It looks like I may finally make it Sunday through Tuesday… Continue reading Phonograph

Lily Abstract
