do you see the picture   the one

in the upper right corner   

my son took that a few years ago

i'm standing on the roots of a sycamore tree

which is overhanging a creek

my son is below me

standing on some rocks in the creek

he was home for thanksgiving

home from school

it's my favorite picture of me   because

he took it

also because i love that tree

though it's gone from my life   it's on the ranch

i sold the ranch
