Bowering's Diamond Angels are fine - if they are not already out for hire! I am sure Shelia will up the ante with some serious Monglolian jade, lapis lazuli and flint for fire. At the sight of each angel, Alison promises to chant 'awesome'.
I think I am down to carrying the rations.
Who knows who else might show up - even just to roar as we may.

No, no, it's Bowering's Rilke, so to speak, with baseball players playing for the Angels; otherwise, I expect to roar...

This period is discussed in a new catalog from the O'Keefe Museum for a traveling show based on the period in the 30's in which Adams was in New Mexico with O'Keefe making photographs, many of the same sites that she painted.

Rilke at 14,000 feet. If Angels appear I will have my butterfly catching net on the ready, and an Angel Delivery box in my pack. I hear that the stronger angels can give us an aerial lift back down to the parking lot. In that case, I will give up the box.
