Not sure if you knew that I've become nomadic. My wife and I sold everything, bought a camper van (caravan) and are wandering about the states.

Old English buildings...scorched brick orange grime<br /><br />Old English buildings often have this look - a far cry from mangroves or Spanish moss, but not above the odd mosquito, more's the pity.

This was the feel of place I camped that just would not be a sonnet, thereby breaking that run, which seems to have ended as mysteriously as it began. I stopped fighting and just wrote it the way it wanted to be written. Thanks.<br /><br />@signed_bkm: Welcome. I appreciate the time you took to read this. There's a lot of content out there, much of it quite good, and for you to spend some of that precious time reading me means a lot. Thank you.<br /><br />@shadow: Pictures make the abstraction for me. What does they mean? I don't know. Ha!<br /><br />@Tess: Thanks. Glad you like. Speaking of Spanish moss, someday, you'll have to tell why you dropped the 'willow'.gerry boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404762839765626232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178437599315653605.post-50818101969415454412011-01-06T04:49:36.915-08:002011-01-06T04:49:36.915-08:00I love Spanish moss.
