August 10

I love swimming pools at dusk - after the swimmers have gone home, and just before the birds and bats swoop in for a drink. The water is still except for tiny wind-driven ripples, and the surrounding trees are reflected in it. The deck is washed clean of the day's activities. The entire place is restful and ready for tomorrow.

If I had a pool, I'd stare at it every night...

This wind-turbine sculpture is in a playa lake at Maxey Park. I would like to be able to tell you the name of the piece, and the artist. But for some reason, there's nothing to provide that sort of information.

And the ducks, quacking from the safety of the concrete base, wouldn't tell me anything.
