Dove and Tree

These are two images from Tuesday. I think they neatly provide the bookends for this post. The pirate and I are going to take a few days off from blogging. I'm feeling a little sick. If I had a job I would call in and ask for a few days off. I feel a little fluttery like the trilling song of the mourning dove's wings when it flies away. I am looking for something solid to anchor me, like this five-foot diameter tree trunk. Something I can crouch behind and get out of the wind, and the crossfire of too many ideas.
We'll be back soon.
