in recent years I have become captivated by the more cultivated and tranquil charms of Thorp Perrow Arboretum, Bedale. more
Karl Mortimer

Sally Mann
I have now read her memoir, Hold Still, twice and am pretty sure I could re-read it several more times, never be bored and continue finding new depths and insights. more
A Fool’s Errand
