2021 | Along the Los Angeles River, Burbank
The day before Christmas had a lot of moving parts; for a COVID-season small family gathering in a big open kitchen, we were each preparing a non-traditional dish or a transformational update to old favorites. I had forgotten to buy tart apples and chicken broth, and on our walk just after a good rain, the going was gooey and slippery in most places even with the right boots, so my attention was on my feet.
But in the midst of all this, stopping here cleared my mind entirely; this picture is evidence of my best non-thinking on that busy day.
