A week or so in Rhode Island in a place far off the beaten path. It was filled with moments that reminded me of my Indiana childhood. The hours spent squatting looking at things on the ground, poking at dead things with a stick, walking along country roads, bug bites. It was heaven. Deer, fox, snake, bullfrog, hermit crab, firefly, dragonfly, turkey vulture, red clover, Queen Anne's Lace, foxtails, hydrangea.
