Trout like women sometimes want to be caught and other times...

Apple, your photos are incredible. Especially that lonesome structure in the setting sun. Also--you don't have to be sleeping to dream. That's how I feel when I dip into your writing. Carried along, half-lulled, sometimes shocked upright by a laugh or an insight. It's a cool experience. I feel the Faulkner influence.

l wish i could claim that photo was a reference to "Light in August" but alas it was July...besides he didn't need a damn cell phone to take pics and distract from stuff he could describe better in prose but yes i love that image have you ever read "The Reivers" its Faulkner at his funniest!!! he and Thomas Wolfe seem to be decent grounding points...not that it works much lol
