Backstory

We were still circling to the outside of the big rock when we stumbled upon this formation. The natural symmetry, the light on the rocks contrasting with the dark green of the oaks, the dog in the rocks…. Can you see the dog watching over the cactus?


I love the way the brain picks out recognizable patterns even when they don’t exist. (I won’t dwell on the philosophic or metaphysical implications of this trait here.)
