THE PROBLEM WITH TUMBLEWEEDS

Ricky Garni

They move too fast to photograph

when they appear on the highway

and you think you made them up

after all - how could they be?

There is only one way they could

for sure: tell people that they were.  

Ricky Garni grew up in Florida and Maine, and has worked over the years as a teacher, wine merchant, studio musician, composer and graphic designer.
