Northport, Alabama

I was frustrated and angry, wanting to shove the first thing I could find in my mouth.

“That never solves anything,” the voice said. “Take a walk.” And so I listened. Lacing up the Timberlands, I grumbled to myself. Rainy outside. Cold. Wet. Dark. Yuck. “Take your camera,” the voice said. “You’ve got that 60mm macro. Use it.” And so I did.

It was the best afternoon I’ve spent in a while.
