Field notes
Small things seen from the road
Short notes and specimens. Hover a slip to see the photograph.
Kingman, AZ
Boots on the porch
Left to dry on a ranch porch outside Kingman. Nobody asked whose they were.
Amboy, CA
Tracks before sunrise
A lizard crossed the dune at first light. By nine the wind had erased it.
Mexican Hat, UT
The gate that holds
Cedar post, two iron straps, older than the road it guards.
Joshua Tree, CA
Do not hug the cholla
Teddy-bear cholla look soft from the car. They are not soft.
The Sunday Dispatch
One field note every Sunday
Tucked in at the end of each letter.
