Eight Days in Yosemite and What the Birds Thought
2020 acrylic on board 20x16in.Sara Jane Lippincott, poet, author, prison reformer. She was a correspondent for the NYT on assignment in 1872 in Yosemite, not yet established National Park.

She writes, “I noticed that there were few song-birds about, and was told by an old guide that they, with most animals, were afraid of the Valley.” I wonder, maybe the animals were afraid of the humans.
