Greetings from Asbury Park. Actually not Asbury Park, but stormy Cape May, where Mark and I are giving a reading tonight. But we did stop at the former on our way down here Friday. It was a beautiful night, close to 50, which felt practically June-ish in this hard cold winter. Buildings, birds, plants, people: all relaxing into themselves. And further south, even the marshes started to smell like marshes again.

Thanks for the gorgeous Asbury Park photos! Brings back a lot of memories.
You're welcome, Lisa. I'm probably going to put more on Facebook once I'm back home.
I LOVE these photos. The light confers such grace on the buildings.
Thank you, Gwynne. It was wonderful to be there at just that hour.
And what of the last photo - a merry go round horse or rocking horse through a window? It's beautiful

ugh I can't wait for winter to be over.
Thank you, Elisabeth. The merry-go-round horse was in the second story window of a store a few blocks in from the boardwalk. (I think it was actually the back of the store.) I have no idea where the horse came from, but it looked very dreamy from our parking spot.
Thanks, Vivian.
And thanks, SY. Two more months, right? Depending on where you are. It's beautiful in NYC today, but I think it's snowing outside Boston. And in Cape May last night our reading took place during an hour-long heavy thunderstorm. A thunderstorm in January...
I can see these photographs in a book, Paul - the words 'in pursuit of light' come to mind. They speak to me of presence and absence.
And congratulations on The Burning House.
Thunder, light, fire - thank you.
Hello, Claire, Thank you very much. I'm actually thinking of using one of those shots for a book cover; we will see. I'm going to give your suggestion some thought.
