I think the trees are firework taxidermy.
A steady reminder of celebration and light.
How quiet. I’m a collaps-
ing house. Come collect me.

Such beauty…
aren’t they though…
Wow, the other photos from this morn, too, DK! The blues, sepia, lavender, salmon, slate — makes one wish one’s room was all these colors. So pretty and peaceful. Those trees above might have names, they’re such a presence!
So agree! Thank you!
