Empty Snakes
Hey Evan, these little ashen snakes are so delicate.
They tremble when we walk.
They shake under our breath.
They’re blacker than the bottom of your feet on a summer day;
they have a nasty look.
They are just empty snakes.

Hello!
First of all, I am sorry for the photos above which have the date stamp; that’s ugly. I enabled that feature on my camera for a project my wife assigned to me and forgot to disable it. Maybe I’ll get around to photoshopping it out. I hope so!
Welcome to my little corner. I am experimenting with Expression Engine, which is the CMS for this site, so expect to see some changes.
The photos above are generally from the Atlanta area: The Georgia Aquarium, Lake Winfield Scott, Alpharetta Greenway, and some shots from Preston Ridge in Alpharetta.
For you web folks, this site is built with tableless, transitional xhtml, and of course CSS. I want to make it fun for iPhone, but it does have some Fash. Doh!

So my kids went wandering through the park
in this awful drought, and I tagged along.
The stream bed we found was dry, on the whole.
Oh there were a few puddles here and there,
but the dryness was remarkable - stark!
Dry sand bed like the valley of dry bones.
“Rise up - dry dust - rise up!” Yet it stays low.
A wind could come and blow it in the air,
and then show the water we want.
Round and blue. A sweet luxury.
