Happy Pride, Greenfield.





I couldn't get close enough today; not only am I immobile, but I don't have my usual strength telephoto lens.  I sat on my tail gate a half block up and in the middle a friend joined me.  I'm sorry I wasn't at LAVA




Have you met Gilgamesh?  He's a year now, almost been around for a year.  He's nobody's pet, owns the chicken yard at the moment, singularly.  His favorite human is Nash, it is said, and his crow is more a lament than a town crier.
