pile o' random {plantings}

today we picked flowers



planted harmonicas



caught rhinos


(pardon my lack of expression, it's hard to balance a thorn on your nose and take your own picture, the boy was uncharacteristically camera-shy, even though he totally started the game)

and visited old and amazing headstones, like this one from the very beginning of the 20th century (boy howdy, that was a long time ago now). there were a few of these 'trees' for the woodsmen of the world, and i so wonder who they were.



i wish i had better pictures of them, perhaps another day. i always come home and see the picture that i wish i'd taken -- the trick now is seeing it in the moment. every one of these, in a way, represents that very challenge.
