all the vampires walking through the valley

i planned on going to phipps this morning - i wanted to see some flowers, and sense spring - even if it wasn't wild or totally natural. but surprisingly, when i woke up, it was warm and sunny. i went to frick park and took a small walk. i took my shoes off and felt the cold, soft, cushion of grass and earth underneath me. birds were chirping and dogs were chasing deer. even though i could hear forbes avenue in the background, the relationship between man and nature felt harmonious nonetheless.

the hour when the ship comes in

these are some pictures from frick park with mark, steve & jon. the sun was magical this day. it's the first time i remember seeing the sun since the day that i arrived home. i love a gray city - but i do think that all of the rain and clouds make it more difficult to stop feeling gloomy sometimes.

everybody just stop talking

went on a walk in frick park on the perfect day. i like frick park. but i'm ready to be some place else. it's hard to know if it's okay that i've sort of run out of pictures to take in frick park, or if that's a sort of stupid thing to say. i know that when i'm in arizona, i'm going to miss the green and the shade. i know that the red rocks will make me feel like an alien in foreign land. i ought to savor this stuff up more.
