I love the shapes hens take when grooming themselves and eating the bugs that get in their feathers. Georgia Okeeffe saw flowers as sculptures, and so did I. Chickens, too. This morning, Maria and I are going to the food pantry to take some photos. We are here to help unload the food from Albany onto their truck.

Zip appeared briefly this morning and took off into the woods. He has favorite places everywhere, and I rejoice at his freedom to expose himself, as barn cats do. I’ll be back this afternoon, taking some photos of some Thistles. Close up, they are pretty wild-looking.
