fisher cat-4114

This was the first time I had ever seen a fisher cat. They apparently are ferocious predators, but this young female, in the stillness of death, lying on a road surrounded by the forest and pastures she roamed, belies that reputation. I feel sadness at the passing of this wild and beautiful creature, and offer a prayer for the journey.

in loving memory-3538

This beautiful granite bench can be found in a small park overlooking the Housatonic River on the east side of the West Cornwall covered bridge. Many stories flow out of this sculpture: intuited, imagined and in the end largely unknown, but nonetheless resonant. Stories are revealed in the Joel Sternfeld photo book, On This Site, that I passed up earlier in the day at a church basement sale – the tragedies a little too jarring for a beautiful spring day.
