I just mailed the score of my "Fragments of a Mass in C" to a performing group that has heretofore shown no great enthusiasm for my work. When the post office clerk asked if the envelope had anything fragile, I could not stop myself from replying, wryly, "Only my ego." And scene. #Abandonment

The Fading Bloom

The impacts of climate disruption

The Lismore floods, the Spanish floods and Hurricane Katrina show in a climate breakdown
you're on your own..

People "are fundamentally rescuing themselves...I think that's something that we see again and again, unfortunately, in the absence of effective government response....Professor Mossop says the Black Summer Fires in 2019 to 2020 also saw people being "rescued by their neighbours and not by emergency services".

Evening At This Old House by Debra Martz
I've been taking photos of this abandoned house since discovering it in 2019. I take photographs in different seasons and times of day. And I'm always checking to see how much more of the roof, walls, windows, etc are failing. The sky & Turkey Vultures added to the overall sense of abandonment. Northern Oklahoma near Nescatunga.
