On Boxing Day

The little tropical tree in my front yard must have been surprised at sunrise on the day after Christmas this winter to feel its slender branches laden with white and to see the windmill beside it similarly laden. Where am I, it must have thought—surely not in the familiar desert. The dirt feels right, but what is this icy weight? Ah, yes . . . snow.

 

Camera: Vivitar 220/SL (circa 1976, with Pentax Super-Takumar 55mm f/1.8 lens).

 

Film: 35mm 100 ISO Arista.edu Ultra, developed in Arista Liquid Developer for 6:30 minutes @ 70 degrees, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner.
