The Farm; The Light


I love this picture. I took it Labor Day Weekend in 2008, near Santa Rosa. It's late afternoon. Family is spread out, some in the pool, some sitting on the porch, talking. Bare feet up on empty chairs. A beer in the left hand as the right gestures out, following a point home.

Warm dry air sliding across almost-dry skin. Too cool for a moment, a chill up the neck and down the arms, and then warmth again. Rich cheese, spilled out of its shell, forming a puddle of delicious fat on the plate. Hand me a cracker, will you? No, the round one.
