The Thorn Bushes are Bigger in Texas...


Spent a surreal last week building a thorn bush fort in rural Texas with one of my favorite people in the world, one Miss Angela Beallor.  We were in residence at Habitable Spaces, a combination sustainable farm and residency program just getting underway near Kingsbury, Texas.  The remoteness of the land, the hugeness of the sky, the barbedness of just about everything (plant life, animal life, the sharp noon day sun and some sharp cold nights) made for a fascinating awakening.  I loved being in such a foreign topography.  Gathering up simply stunning flint (in blood reds, oranges, browns), and branches from all sorts of thorny things made for a week I won't soon forget.  More pictures on the way soon.
