woods

My foray into the forest yesterday was really helpful. I had a great day. Unfortunately, I read the news tonight. Now I need to go back into the woods and sit but it is after 10 pm. 

Actually, I don't think it would really be a problem. In our last reality (because it feels like we are in an alternate reality, yes?) I went out once late to practice taking long exposure night shots. There I was, sitting quietly and not moving much, when some poor deer who were definitely not expecting a human out at that hour and that location were startled to see me. 

I just had a very odd call from someone I haven't spoken to for a long time. She called filled with joy and happiness and wanting to know what was new and exciting and going on in my life, as if there were no pandemic, as if the world was not crazy and in mourning.  Her phone company is giving her long distance for a week at no extra charge. She still pays extra for long distance? I haven't paid for long distance for....I do not know how long. It was like someone from the last universe calling me in this one. 

I think I will take a walk in the woods before working tomorrow morning. 

Two alternate realities and three decades ago, Karen loved silly candles. I think this is the only one I bought her that she still has. The blue was deeper then. I said it would be great if I had another dog puppet to photograph howling and behold, I had given her another dog finger puppet. I added the stars in with Luminar. 

It feels so very odd to have been reading such a mix of horrible news, horrible in so many different ways, and then have a happy, bouncy person from a previous reality call. 

Definitely going to the woods tomorrow morning.
