I have been checking back around Christmas for like a decade.

One moonlight evening as Master Fox was taking his usual stroll in the woods, he saw a number of Pheasants perched quite out of his reach on a limb of a tall old tree. The sly Fox soon found a bright patch of moonlight, where the Pheasants could see him clearly; there he raised himself up on his hind legs, and began a wild dance. First he whirled ’round and ’round like a top, then he hopped up and down, cutting all sorts of strange capers. The Pheasants stared giddily. They hardly dared blink for fear of losing him out of their sight a single instant.
Now the Fox made as if to climb a tree, now he fell over and lay still, playing dead, and the next instant he was hopping on all fours, his back in the air, and his bushy tail shaking so that it seemed to throw out silver sparks in the moonlight.
By this time the poor birds’ heads were in a whirl. And when the Fox began his performance all over again, so dazed did they become, that they lost their hold on the limb, and fell down one by one to the Fox.
Take that, subspace.

There is a guy (at least one) in Seattle who is not quite in this league but pretty good anyway. I found a couple stacks of his down at the creek once. Stupid me, didn’t take a picture.
I wish I had a summer to spend on learning to do this. We do seem to be running out of summers as time goes by though.

Re: Destroy all humans… all of them except Bill Dan
I imagine it would take more like the time to learn a good handstand. Fortunately it gets easier the heavier things you use, just like a thimble wobbles more on your head than an amphora full of water will. I don't live in a part of Texas that has rocks, but really, you should have at it.
There's someone named Andy Goldsworthy who you'd find worth your time to look up now if you haven't run into him. People enjoy talking about him for handiwork like this, but also for good stuff with leaves and tides and whatever's at hand. Quite possibly a search on him would lead you to artists who have similar fascinations to his.

Maybe I will try. An amphora. Nice. I realize how much I miss being around a couple of my writer friends. I can’t think of the last time I heard a word in conversation and had to look it up. :( That one didn’t count though. I was an Art History student. :)
We have one of Goldsworthy’s coffee table books. Some of his stuff seems overly mathematical/simplistic but some of it is really stutter inducing. The super ephemeral ones, especially, like the ones of ice or sticks and leaves on water, I really enjoy.

goldsworthy's photos are great but his videos kill. watch him working against the clock as the newfoundland tide comes in. watch his fifth attempt at a rocksculpture crash down and watch him begin again and get it right. amazing perseverence and clarity of vision.
