cold

This (back to front) series is about a failing relationship,
if you didn't guess; not mine, just a general story,
though I've certainly been there, more than once ~
there's the hope that this will last, despite the
growing coolness, the changing states, the..mess..
Is there some astrological indication of late? Seems
I've heard of a lot of unhappy break-ups.

careful

Treading carefully.. that part of a story where
it could go anywhere, & willing an outcome doesn't work..

This was a strange place, something made me very nervous,
as if bad things had happened there.

impasse

Up against it..

oldest living things in the world

tears

Tears like a rainy day..

See Anne Siems & Fay Jones, at GroverThurston

endings

There can come a point where it looks like the end of the story..
It's lucky we don't often know the endings, or there would
be fewer beginnings. Also.. it happens by itself.

Inez Storer has a lovely way with stories.

changes

Painted in mid 70's, while living in India. I did several
Vipassana meditation retreats around then, with Goenka.

Have been thinking about the different ways to tell a story.
Always an image comes first, for me;
over next days I'll post a series of altered photos that I
think tell a story ~ but the end will come first so that later
it will read coherently from top down.. don't know yet if I'll
write any words.

heads

These two were along the Mekong last year.
I so enjoy the sense of also being looked at by the trees.
Or sensed, anyway. Don't you?

Really like Balint Zsako's pictures,
