May Day 2020

I was raking the yard and something across the creek caught my eye.

Ooo, I thought. I should take a picture of that. But I stayed true. This yard is not going to rake itself. If only.

Stayed with me though. That picture waiting to be made. 

So, next morning, Oly and I took a walk across the creek to the deer bones.

This is not the first time I’ve photographed deer bones in the forest.

This is from a grant sponsored exhibition entitled “The Devil’s Backyard.”

But this is something that feels new -- that picture waiting to be made. 

And that’s what I’ve learned five months into the Picture a Day for a Year project.
