Instruments I'm Playing:
The Harmonica ... this will be it for a while. Perhaps forever.
A detailed view of the horned lizard's pointed posterior.

A fat old full moon sinking below the mountain silhouettes as we wake up and snuffle around the pine-scented camp doesn't hurt either.
Yours truly and the food he carried between Big Bear and Wrightwood.
