Photography

Light, path, and stillness — the land, close and quiet.

Blue Jay

A blue jay in winter light, caught from behind — the barred blues and whites of its back.

A blue jay perched, seen from behind, in cold light.
A street canopied in cherry blossom, cars parked along one side, a house at the end.

Street signs reading Court and Academy at a crossroads, framed by cherry blossom.
