after taking pics of two new patterns
(you’ll get to see them soon)
my friend wendy and i drove around a bit
just to see
whatever could be seen.
we found a little park neither of us knew existed
parked the car, and took a walk into the birdsong filled air
under the trees.
i tend to get drawn into the fine details of things
like leaves
and water bubbles
and moss on the north side of the trees.
when i finally got around to looking up to get my bearings,
my jaw dropped
because there was this.
it’s less than ten minutes by car from my house,
the very house i grew up in,
and i never knew
wow.
