revisiting last july
a person wearing a cowboy hat, a long sleeve shirt, cargo shorts, and sneakers looks out at a cresting wave. the entire scene is smeared with motion blur an ocean wave crashing into hazy sea-mist, soon to become the froth of the foreground a pelican glides over cresting waves. the scene is smeared in blur again

a large yellow yield sign with a graphic of a large black cat sitting and facing forward. the cat is quite shaggy. the sign is nearly enveloped in a tangle of flowering branches and leaves.

a massive big leaf maple leans over a bluff a detail of the distant branches of the maple, writhing like slow tendrils of lightning against a blown-out, overcast sky

ambiently reflecting on april of 2024
topiary in the shape of a bunny, somewhat overgrown, many small offshoots reach out to the sun and soften the appearance of the bunny ged, a tuxedo cat, climbs on a limb of an apple tree a sign on a wire fence that reads, "experimental dandelion farm, do not disturb weeds." behind the fence is a field of dandelions a nicely shaped cloud rests above the treeline. its shape resembles a stone made smooth by water, or a mancala bead

program for ambient reflection:

1) on the 1st day of every month, go back to the photos from that month one year ago

2) choose 4 photos from that month

3) print them out and place them somewhere you’ll easily see over the course of the month

i've been making small monthly calendars for the past 2 years, but haven't had to time to make any drawings this year. in the meantime, i've compiled last year's calendars into a blank-slate composite to download and print if you want. hope to start drawing soon...

the upper part of a sculpture in the woods surrounding the port angeles fine arts center. the sculpture is smiling with its eyes peacefully closed. fresh snow dusts its surface. there is a small heart on its forehead and the neck appears as a stream of white and translucent stones.

youtube comment by @ThomasBaxter that reads: Whenever I see dot html at the end of a url, my heart grows two sizes. Whenever I see dot html and the html is not hand coded I die, and so do two small wildlife animals who have lived full lives. But the children of those wildlife animals still wonder why they are gone. It was sudden, unexpected. And devastating. If I can see dot html at the end of a URL... handwrite your html.

i like to think our hands were not developed before we met cats, and that it was for their benefit that our hands formed
