muddy brown and bare
below the brown and bare
deep shadows dream
of canyon walls reflecting
rich, gold sunset light
with approaching deep
blue and purple night
soon dry air evaporates
the muddy water mind
leaving a dusty cracked mirror
for the wind to find
maybe brown and bare
are not what they seem

I really had a rough day shooting a while back at one of my favorite Texas spots; Pedernales Falls State Park. The river was running high and brown; ugly. The day was high noon; short shadows and stark light; blah. Shot lots of stuff and came back with all crap. But I took this brown mud puddle and played with it, tumbled it around, pushed pixels beyond where they should be, and salvaged.
