Pellucid peyote visions strike evanescent evocations of eagles caught in flight, failing on the wild winds– it hisses as their haggard drop and rushes up to greet them.

It’s been a while, and a long weekend to boot. In sum: got some sun, traipsed some beaches, wondered and waxed philosophic and photographic somewhere between the trees and the waves, and tasted of the delicious sensation known as BBQ. It was a long weekend, but a good one, and I can honestly say it [...]
