…or somethin’. Anyway spring hung in there for another couple of days
rendering the backyard [and more] more than pleasant…
In lieu of the Miles Davis button we find books to reassert the obvious…and the not so obvious
while, as Our Little Town opts for Band-Aids over Infrastructure,
I make a last run through the hills before the weather turns
To be cntd….
Friday morning
East on [“the”] 80, across the Valley
Sacto causeway
Eagle Lakes
and Reno, for lunch, a set of Pyramid Lake prints to the NMA,
then down Virginia, various stops and
out.
A pause before Gerlach at the “High Road”, a road oft taken but not today.
Gerlach; “shinin’ like a diamond in a tarpit” [to paraphrase Terry Allen]
and the Smoke Creek, under water, paraphrasing no one.
Monochromatic mornings as
busy creatures mine the dirt and
L. arrives for her last Spring Break and,
at least for now, there’s this…another day between the cracks.
yippee.

I always enjoy your artfully-captured views of contrasting hits and missives. From Benicia’s green-green spring hills, backyard silhouettes and a very striking arrowhead (the piling, shining like a diamond between dark walls) to grey I-80 traffic and soft bayou mists on the Sacto causeway to brilliant Sierra blue skies, clean white clouds (and red lights ) of Reno to the always-changing desert, playa, dirt, rainbows and clouds of Smoke Creek / Wall Spring. We get grand vistas and small details. If variety is the spice of life, your hits are hot salsa. Thanks.
Kirk has captured the variety and beauty of your pictures perfectly. I’ve never seen your northern
California area so green, quite beautiful in the spring light.
In Reno what kind of “girls” ? cowgirls?
why is it Linda’s last spring break?
“live” and “nude” I’d imagine…
It’s Linda’s last spring break as after this semester she’s finally out of school, so we’ll be broke year-round.
20/20 and then some … how soon is now?
Well according to Mr. Pinchbeck now is fast expiring…but there’s still hope for the species-wide revolution in consciousness that will save us.
The Berger is highly recommendable bedside reading…
Awhile back it was green Gerlach and dry, dry Benicia. Now Benicia looks positively lush, tropical and Gerlach seems beautiful as always, but dry, bare. I, like Kirk really loved “the arrowhead”.
