My wife and I have been out of town for two weeks.

The first week we visited my family in Ontario

the second week we went to Washington DC

where she had a symposium. We mostly went

to art galleries so I do not have a lot of nature

shots from the trip but I will be posting some

photos in the next couple of weeks. In the

meantime here are some shots from the

area behind my office taken just before I left.

"Crow turned the words into a reservoir, collecting the water.
The water turned into an earthquake, swallowing the reservoir.

The earthquake turned into a hare and leaped for the hill
Having eaten Crow's words.

Crow gazed after the bounding hare
Speechless with admiration. "
