55 Photos (Quick, Run Away) of My Guys
I’m slowly posting lists of 55.
55 Photographs is a collection of places I’ve been.
55 Sustaining Verses is a collection of, well, sustaining verses.Now I give you 55 pictures of the guys I wrap my life around.
1 husband, 3 sons, 5 grandsons (no pictures of the 6th until he arrives)Only one girl—my sister-in-law—is included because I
couldn’t bear to omit one of the best pictures taken in the 1960′s.If pictures of dead animals bother you, click away. Now.
My guys hunt. My guys fish. My guys eat.
Please know that I held back. And I will hear complaints
about inclusions and omissions from my sons.
I could have done 55 Field and Stream Photos.There is no order and I didn’t count pictures per person.
I didn’t try to be fair. Fair is where you take the hogs in August.
