Noontime Clearing Near the Corner
by Dawn Chandler

 
"'The Corner' refers to a point in my favorite trail where it edges a long field, and then suddenly takes a sharp corner and cuts through a grove of towering cottonwood trees on its way to the banks of Brush Creek. I camped out there for a few hours this day and wondered if I might see a moose. . . ..'"
