Video

I posted a video of the installation process on my "News" blog. It is complicated to have more than one blog! It is just for fun. I am going to be posting new "Here2Indiana" content soon!

Time is Eternity

Finally, proof.

This site is neglected, but the work I am doing now is drawing all my attention. Here are some sneak peeks of the video in progress.

I Could Touch the Sky

Fresh food and fireflies

I went to prepare my lunch sandwich just now. It might sound banal, but there is something very appealing about cleaning up the dishes and preparing a delicious sandwich. I have been using the beautiful romaine leaves from the plants grown before I left for N.Y. I was surprised to find these perfect romaine heads on my return. The corn did not reach knee high the month I was gone (clearly, hefty fertilizers are involved in those fields), and the zucchini (normally a garden champion) succumbed to the attacks by the weeds. But my beautiful little lettuce was thriving. I only planted one, and looking at it, I think it would make a good salad for one. To spread out the delight it gives me, I am reserving its leaves for sandwiches-- two per day. When I went to pluck my two leaves, I found this little fellow, reminding me of the videos I had prepared for you, waiting silently on my camera. I apologize for the delay, and will post them now, post-haste.

The fireflies here seem to not trust the dark. They are all gone by 10:00 P.M. or so, and with a 9:20 sunset, it is not a lot of time to see their full, lightening spectacle. Here is what they look like. Kind of ugly at first, then when I realized what they were, I thought he was quite a pretty fellow.

Here is an example of their flying/lighting action.

This video, taken at 8:30, is at the height of their activity in my front yard. Your challenge: count how many you find.

The river is wide

I will re-up-load this soon, as the aspect ratio is wrong.
These are images of the upper rapids I took while walking across the bridge.

The music of fear

This is the sound emanating from the courthouse in the center of town. It translates to "it's coming. Hide." But it was haunting. I couldn't move. Today, when I was driving out of Indiana, I stopped in a town where it had touched down. There were trees and branches down. A woman I talked to said her family slept in hallway, because they don't have a basement. I overhead another man talking about how his horses were afraid and ran away. He called everyone the next day, and someone finally found them sleeping in their driveway.

cinco sound experiement

Actual sounds from Indiana. Even though I think they sound like a meditation CD.

And then...

*But what kind is it? Must a snake in the grass mean danger, or is it all in my head?

Denver and Hair

My Hair in Denver

Sound Experiment 1

Little Fly,
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance
And drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life
And strength and breath
And the want
Of thought is death;

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.
