Spiky Weather | Twisp, WA | 2007

Weather blown eastward from the Pacific squeezes (I imagine) through mountain passes to stretch above Twisp. That explains the scalloped cloud pattern that mimics our old evergreen’s spread of branches. What the photo doesn’t convey is the heavy, moist scent of West Side forests that settles on us from high-up rivers of air. More than once, we’ve noted: Earth’s perfume.
