low horizon, large strokes in Interference color on dark blue with orbs. I was listening to the sound of Peepers (tree frogs) in the spring and marveling at the intensity and beauty of the chorus and got to thinking about all the noises animals make as day turns to night. Does the sound travel through space forever?

On an October morning I walked through a flock of Bluebirds along a hedgerow that was full of asters and goldenrod. The bluebirds did not rise up as a a group as I walked amongst them. Instead, individuals lifted and settled a few yards ahead and then hopscotched back as I continued to approach to resettle where they had been. It was like passing through a cloud whose molecules were stirred but whose shape and position were unaffected by my passing.
