We stopped at a rest area on the way home from Idaho last week. I walked around soaking in all the sun and heat and appreciating the summer-charged colors of the sky and landscape. Way across the corn fields I saw two round metal silo tops reflecting the sunshine like beacons, which trilled me in a way I can’t explain. I took a photo with my phone and then deleted it. Some things can’t be captured.

However, I did keep the photos I took of the top of this concrete teepee at the same rest area. I love how it looks against the sky and the clouds, and how dramatically the color changed when it wasn’t in shadow.

What would we do without cameras to help us see and remember?

I’ll probably delete this in the morning.
