scattered into focus

 it's almost the end of the school year (a week and a half to go)

and i'm experimenting

 this little bit of kozo traveled my table

and landed on this announcement from frank

 and became briefly a moon

 i have saved many

like this laying mama snapper

and many, many painteds

but not all

by any means.

this morning's snapper

did NOT appreciate my shovel 

helping her across the busy highway.

but she made it.

 at the new place the little drainage

nameless

 with reflections

and despite all odds

 up through the gravel roadbed

 this fellow emerged

 happily

and happy even when

i photograph the thing upsidedown.

~~~

i told you i'm scattered

next weekend i will be on my way to colorado
