The Presley place, 1
It’s the usual story: the family farmhouse got left behind when the family moved to town. And so it sits….
But at least, in this case, the family stops in from time to time. And sometimes bring their camera-wielding friend along.

An alley. Again. Of course.
It’s been a long time since I posted a shot from an alley.
If you think between May 9 and May 15 qualifies as “a long time.”
But, anyway, here’s an alley in the Loop, in Chicago. As alleys go, this is quite tidy.

Really, Austin?
Sometimes, I just don’t know what to think. Every now and then, things in Texas just seem so….crass.
Here’s an example. Just the other day, my pal in Canada posted this beautiful, simple shot of a clothesline against a blue sky. Go look at it. I’ll wait….

Thrift store and a cowboy poet

But, if that’s not your deal (or even if it is), I’d like to encourage you to visit my friend Paul Zarzkski’s place; scroll nearly to the end, until you find the poem called “Montana Second Hand,” a lovely poem that takes place at a St Vincent de Paul store.
Still have some time on your hands? Here’s Paul, reciting “Black upon Tan” at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering.
It’s a long way from Ann Arbor to cowboy poets; thanks for indulging my journey.
