An editing comment

I just re-read the caption on the photo of the burrs and wild cucumbers fro January 22: "pictures of dead things". What an abrupt sounding comment! Dried plants, or "these images of summer bravely standing through the cold of winter to remind us that the world will reawaken in due time." Something more poetic would have been nice. But no. I had to call them dead things. I guess there is something to be said for draft copies and reworking.
