Survivors

 

These are supposedly the tracks of wagons going west in AZ. There is argument about it.

Sharing with Sepia Saturday this week, where a couple of strawberry vendors are a bit sad. Will they and their horse survive for another day? Who knows.


Today's quote:

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, / I stand and look at them long and long. / They do not sweat and whine about their condition, / They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, / They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, / Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, / Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, / Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth. -Walt Whitman, poet (31 May 1819-1892)
