Even on a Day without Sun

it's easy to be surprised, stunned even, by the beauty of the world as it is, even when it isn't as it should be or as one might like it.

I am grateful for small gifts.

A Fortnight's Gratitude

Dear A,

I am remiss.

I should have thanked you before now for the loan of a camera.

But spring caught me unprepared, and the Nikon and I still struggle to make more than a passing acquaintance.

I have learned this: each camera has lessons to teach, and each person is not well suited to each lesson.

Nevertheless, I have stalked the slow spring unfolding now in flying things and ripening color.

May these thank you in my stead, for these are why I am grateful.




Fondly,
Robley
