7:57pm, Whitelock Street and alley parallel to Callow Street, Baltimore, MD

I like the outcropping of flowers and greens in this lot. There are some bricks. I engaged with them. Another end of the day video because I spent so much time chatting with a friend on my way home from work. I like to do floor work on rough spaces. It feels challenging. It also gives my arms a different purpose. I don't often move objects around in my dances but the brick felt like they became part of or extensions of my body. It's still cool in the evening... something that quickly fades as Baltimore summers unfurl. I am both looking forward to and dreading the summer heat. There were a bunch of red, mite-like bugs all over the bricks and concrete. They are imperceptible until your face is only a few inches from the ground. This is Reservoir Hill. It is a beautiful neighborhood. Day one hundred fifty-three.
