After a day of hard work with hammer and spike
planting willow slips into streambed gravel,
we took some time to view moons of Jupiter
and contemplate around a jovial campfire
The clear skies at dusk, along with an absence of breeze
lent to a drop in temperature we gauged on our faces and fingers.
Eventually we doused the fire and sought our tents for refuge from cold.
The owls visited our camp several times through the night
to offer awakening comments.
The photo below shows the landscape of my acoustical study.
