spring
young trees on Altair IV …

surrounded …
… in the forest at my university.
a tiny landscape …
Is it moss? Lichen? I dunno. But it’s draped on the side of a downed log in the forest at my university.
beech buds …
… ready to burst in the forest at my university.
en route …

the Badlands …
… in spring. The chaotic landscape can be mesmerizingly beautiful but deadly dry as well.
