I watch from your window as a flock of birds bursts from the neighboring roof top. Oh how I would love to fly, to explode into a whirl of feathers and hollow bones and go anywhere I wanted.

But birds don’t do that, do they? No, you tell me. They stay where they were born and mate for life and never see the world. So I’m doing better than a silly sparrow, you tell me. Yes, I say, yes, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to fly?

super special announcement

It’s officially the one-year anniversary of the collaboration between C. and myself on Just One Place! In honor of this wonderful occasion we’re having a special in our shop:

From January 4th* until March 4th we will be giving away free prints with every purchase. For every $15 print you purchase you will receive ONE (1) 4x6 print. For every $25 print you purchase you will receive TWO (2) 4x6 prints. You may choose from almost any of the photographs on appleshavewings.com. 4x6 prints will not be mounted. Please include which photographs you’d like in the “message to seller” section. If no photos are chosen we will choose them at random.

Of course (almost**) any of the images posted to the site are available to purchase, not just those listed on etsy. All you have to do is custom request the image or email us, letting us know which image(s) you’d like to see for sale.

*purchases made between now and January 17th will not be shipped until after the 17th as I am out of town and thus have no access to a lab.
**any of those produced by me and some produced by C. The availability of C.’s photographs depends on whether we have a high enough resolution of it on hand.

Thanks for your readership!

announcement

Wow you guys, Wednesday just passed and I totally didn’t post. I really suck at this without C., huh? Also there’s vacation and holidays and all of that…

I recommend that you expect sporadic posting until after Jan 17th. Sorry for just letting it happen without warning.

Happy New Year to you all. Stay safe and well.

-S.

We decorate our tree with brightly
colored flowers
that I insist you leave up
until the new year.
Fires and tea mugs to distract us
from the feet of snow outside; blankets
and socks when the heat breaks.
You surprise me
with bright lights
draped around the bed
and your arms open and waiting.
For the first time
I can say I’ve gotten
everything
on my wish list.

I can see your light from across the river and I know it wouldn’t take long to get there. If only I could walk across water, if only I could hold my breath long enough, if only it weren’t so cold. It’s so bright I know I’d be warm with or without your arms around me with or without the stars visible with or without a blanket. If only you wanted me there.
