I recently saw a large area with varying degrees of burn damage along Sandy Ridge Road that extended almost all the way to Friendship Bogs. Is this the result of a normal ground burn-off? Glo

Looks like you had a fine trip "wandering" and ended up with a nice collection. Those froggish eyes take the prize! :) Glo

In the front matter of some books is a page for acknowledgements. If I had included one in my new book, THE STORY SHELL, I would have titled it Gratitude. And it certainly would have taken more than a single page. To that peerless pair, Whip and Manumuskin; to fellow-hikers Ed, Teegate, and...

Yes please, I'd like to know too. Glo

Your titles add a nice dimension to the photographs; this is an interesting selection. I like your "Traces of Life" for an intriguing use of light and shadow; "Tracks to Nowhere" for understated drama; and "Infinite" -- you've caught the sense of those resilient grasses stretching to the...

:)))) You sure do rock, girl! Glo

Thanks SO much for this, Paul! Glo

Thanks for these photos, Whip! It is so good to see Friendship again. Buddy must have had great fun exploring the strange new world of bushes and bogs. I like the various expressions on his face, especially when he is being "assisted" across Ed's bridge. His eyes! "Can't believe all this...

I'm thinking that a book will wait, but this disintegration continues its funereal progress. It seems that even Minnette has left, but perhaps she will surprise you some day by appearing once again. Each time, you capture something of note, and each time, you balance the despairing...

Sea Breeze, even in ruins, is always so picturesque! I like the misted horizon in your "Broken Setting," the gleaming colors of "Blue and Gold," and the golden cast you've given to the poignancy of "Shattered Memories." Still pondering the other-worldly feel of "Rip-Time." Thank you...

Good for you, Ed! Yours are ahead of ours. I heard our first peeper this evening -- a loner doing a solo attempt even though it was chilly (50 degrees) -- and a few short trills from an American toad who seemed to have trouble warming up. Spring at last! Glo

These are such intriguing, creative perspectives, even the dreadful thorny #3. You grabbed, me though, with that hopeful nest surrounded by budding branches. Spring really is coming, right? Can't wait! Glo

Sea Breeze under snow seems to put on its best face. The trees and branches and snow-swept seawall are especially beautiful. The last two photos are remarkable! I’m surprised that Minnette allowed you to see her, Whip, much less take her picture. You must have whipped out that camera in a...

We had our first fricassee of muskrat while in Maryland, on our way to South Jersey. It was a unique introduction to our somewhat eccentric family for my son's fiancee, who had joined us for the trip. It tasted okay, I thought. What bothered me was the delicate little carcass, with its tiny...

:)) Don't miss the parents exchanging a glance.

Marvelous shots ... Pheasants against snow-- elegant contrast! Red Tail with attitude -- fun! Forsythe residents -- so very classy! (What's that snow goose been digging into?) Hooded mergansers -- perfectly coifed, as always. I sometimes wonder whether they tend to their...

It's a good thing you're doing, Whip, recording these sights. Each time is different, and each time you find interesting details to share. I like the textures in this set: alligatored glass, grained wood, pebbled plaster, and a dozen more I can't properly describe. Most lovely: the octagonal...

Precisely! Today in northern SC we got at least twelve inches, with more to come. Only 3-6 inches were predicted. Here by Paris Mt., everything is shut down, trees will start falling with tomorrow's ice, and we will probably lose electricity. If the same storm is moving your way, I hope y'all...

What a great discovery! Like Trailhead00, my first Pines ruins were those of the packing house. One starlit night I sat on its stones and wrote a scene featuring the crumbled remains, but like y'all, I never imagined such a structure above. I echo the sadness expressed that the entire area...

Swamps have a particular beauty, don't they? I like #4 best for the sense it gives of quiet woods and shining water. Thank you! Glo
