We have reached our monthly allotment in Submittable, so we've stopped accepting submissions for the summer reading period overall. Thanks to everyone who has sent us work over the last few months!! As usual, our next (winter) reading period will begin on Dec 1st, so get ready!

Saw the whiny teenager yesterday @ Point Fermin. And my has he grown! He let us (just me and a faithful photog with a cannon) take a few shots and he was gone.

I've decided to rerelease my first book of poems, The Last Man. If you didn't get a chance to purchase it a millennium ago (2012), well, it's back in print @ Amazon.

Best,

R L Swihart

My "Red Coat" is up @ The Literary Bohemian (TLB). An easy read and you can add it to your summer reading list.😁

Bewick's Wren @ Bolsa Chica. Think I'm correct on the ID, but this little guy, partly because he's "giving the call his all," is hardly the classic pic.

Correction: a birder friend (with a much sharper eye) says: house wren.

Bolsa Chica. I stopped briefly on my way home from Fairview. Was hoping to see the red egret, but these beautiful geese (knew them but only from pics) were a nice consolation: the brant.
