That’s me in the middle, with the skeleton of the deer stand around me. Thunderstorms are forecast for the next few days, so today’s probably the last chance this week to play with shadows. Photo by LauraP

Deer stand extraordinaire–built by one of the farm’s previous owners. We had to do some heavy trimming in the overgrown cedars underneath to open access to the ladder. Well worth it, I think, since it’s a great place to hang out, take deep breaths, and think about nothing. Photo by LauraP
