nature_creeps_back_in bird along my usual walking path of old-school urban decay, places become visible -when looked at more closely- where it seems that the city, even at its center, seems to dissolve back into what may well have been there beforehand empty lot that used to be a dealership for heavy equipment and big cargo trucks and trailers, its back fence bordered by big sturdy trees and where there had been bare dead soil for years, the trees and the whole back line of the fence is being overtaken by low, soft-looking emerald green grass though it raises the fire risk when summer comes around again, i hope there is enough winter rain to cause even the cracks in the sidewalk to rise up with the blazing orange wildflowers that carpet parts of the desert in early spring little incongruities and surprises are often the most stirring 060823 what's it to you? who go blather from
