I’ve started thinking about my calendar for 2014. I know, the bookstores started getting their stocks on display in June. Not to worry. I’m thinking of doing black and white photographs of trees. I discovered a ‘new’ place to hike in town this weekend, at County Farm Park. Not »
I’m happy to say I have now read the essays that introduce Color Rush. Interesting stuff. Definitely recommended.
