As promised [whether you wanted it or not…]

More Benicia…

Aggie, part Border Collie, has always been too busy to learn spelling but, ever sensitive to visual cues, follows instructions on our tarsands-loving neighbor’s lawn.

A week ago Wednesday I woke deep in the night and lay awake hours as small rains came and went.  In the grey morning the air was crisp and fresh, dark;

Good enough.  Back to Beni for sushi as the rain slacked off, but only after the fire and, Martinez Bridge- ah! almost home!, a pickup smashed against the guardrail pointed south from whence it came.

Later, an hour later immediately [doesn’t Daylight savings seem to come earlier every year?], another night, or long early morning, yet again sleepless as rains came and went and poured down most all of Sunday…

      Apparently so; parallels also. Hadn’t really thought about it as a theme. The paintings are of course Renfrows, soon to be seen at Nancy Toomey’s in the Minnesota Street Project..

    Verticals? Not normally for me either…”Summer hood” could be cropped as a vert, but I like the horizontals; and shoot that way 98% of the time. Why is that?. Nice hood(s), by the way.
    And lots of crazy rain driving images….just be careful out there, Bro, you don’t want to end up on a guardrail, in flames, heading south.
    That American Canyon double-wide landscape sure looks verdant; spring has definitely sprung!
