Before I take off to NYC for the month of May, I've been asking myself a few questions, such as: should I bring a coat? take books or Kindle? tennis shoes or clogs? I know there's a lot more important things in the world to think about, but I can't seem to stop contemplating the non-essentials.
Here's a few more non-essentials I've been asking this past week:
Why did this snake die smiling?
Why was this lizard so angry?
(Was it because I almost stepped on him?)
(Was it because I almost stepped on him?)
Why did the hummingbird build her nest on a cord inside our garage, and then later, abandoned it? Did the babies fly the coop without our notice?
Why did the old Navajo woman get mad at Tom for throwing Mekko into the air?
(This shot, part of the hundreds of old photos I've been going through in the past weeks, was taken at Earl's in New Mexico 23 years ago; Earl's is still there, and still serving one of the best Indian tacos west of the Mississippi. I'll get to see my 23-yr-old son in NYC when I'm there!)
Love those reptile expressions and that high-flying baby - although my heart would probably have stopped for a minute as he soared. It's finally spring here in NYC, so don't bundle up too much. Kindle. And essential books. Walking shoes. There. Now you have all your answers. Almost. I can't speak for the snake.
