Summer Heat

The image of a growing fire sits deep within the mind, I'm afraid a drill will not help to remove it. I've come to accept it, perhaps enjoy it. Maybe I placed it there. So now I'm digging up my backyard to make room for a firepit.

It'll be fine.

Not digging too much, not while the wild flowers have their time in the sun. I enjoy the surprises of what manages to survive the Texas heat. Not a lot does. And I plan to capture as much of it as I can. I've been capturing the color and grace of lively plants most of my life. Now I'll take a closer look at their final chapters. A different kind of beauty, just like us, enriched and blessed by time. Every scar significant unto itself. There is no other like it, just like you.

As it should be. As it will.

And then I'll continue to tinker with these slices of time with some new toys I've found. Something different, another perspective just to keep things interesting. Gotta keep the fire going.
