La Boheme

Idealism and poverty, the joys of youth in Paris set to Puccini.

Love and laughter on the rooftops and avenues. Melodic melancholy

of death.

Sunrise in a duck blind

Ice on the decoys, high Vs against a magenta sky. Lured by the

feeding call a green-headed blur cups his wings and splashes in.

Too pretty to shoot.

A bream bed

Sculling along the banks seeking fecund smell of fertile roe.

Impaling crickets and filling the stringer. Crisco bubbling in

an iron pot.
