A kite silhouetted against sunset lit clouds

"Anything That Touches"

When one is alone and lonely, the body
gladly lingers in the wind or the rain,
or splashes into the cold river, or
pushes through the ice-crusted snow.

Anything that touches.

~ Mary Oliver from "Leaves and Blossoms Along the Way" in Felicity (page 17)

A kite silhouetted high above town, hazy low grey clouds

Did you ever play Kirby Airride? Soar out above town on the bat or classic warpstar?

Beyond a mostly empty parking lot and some pines, town and the high snowy mountains hazy in dusty air, catching warm light

Windy days like rainy days also create interesting light conditions.
