I still feel like Stevens’ “Snowman” quite often, which is why the header is trees crusted with snow. I might let them thaw for a while, I think. I took some pictures during the walk in the gorge with Debbie today and she told me about a woman who would take a picture of the same tree each day throughout the seasons. It does sound like one of those great ideas that you wish you had thought of but that are distinctly someone else’s. I cannot offer a photo-biography of any of Ithaca’s trees or of any trees anywhere. But I want to read my random snapshots can as hints at my decision-making. I wanted to see what was underneath the snow and here I am.
