more long and lean









and no machine.
not even for kneading.

stretching is the operative verb.
and waiting: just a fraction of the process,
three photographs in nine hours.

wild sourdough starter
doing its magical fermented thing.

folding into the circle of life.

sketches of Boonville Big Band











a mendo house, the haul road, and a dog waiting on his pal



 




en route to Ukiah from Boonville







drawing and driving.
not really.

drawing and riding.

grasping an image
to quiet our ride.
side to side, the curves pull.
ever evolving vistas,
around
and again.

My arms appear to be the same length.
I tested for it in the drawing above by 
standing close,
 gripping a dry erase marker, 
waving at the peak of my reach, 
all the way around, to a far off friend, 
hip to hip.

Shoulder steadies as center. Right then left, back and forth,
generates a sufficient sample.

The dotted line is drawn with my left hand, 
and the solid line with my right.
I see very little difference.



That plant (I don't know its name) 
grows along the Haul Rd. in Fort Bragg.
Reminiscent of a redwood structure.
