mister got bored with my photographing and was quite sweet about it. it was gloomy but there were many birds causing my heart to stir. there was even a beautiful loon. despite all our efforts to tame it into oblivion, life keeps rising. i'm so glad and proud of the animals and plants who abide us regardless of how we treat them and the ground we share. though animals and the lovers of animals have little choice, we can't stop criminal government, we can't stop the land grabbers, yet we live, we're alive, we continue life.
