Picket Fence
I seem to be on a bit of fence binge lately. There was the crowded one, the wire one, and the solitary one, and now these pickets.
What do you suppose is going on here? (Dreaming of fences can symbolize a need for privacy, or a desire to shut off the rest of the world. I’m not dreaming about fences, but am posting photos of them, so I don’t think that’s it. Let’s just go with “I like the way they look!”, shall we?)

Cabinetry. And a lizard.
I took this photo because of those cabinets. And because of the tattered curtains. And because of the patched wall.
I didn’t even see the lizard.

No reflection (no mirror)
If there were a mirror here, I wonder if it would have a crack to match (I almost said “mirror”!) the one on the wall?

Sotol reflections
Sometimes, the best views are behind you.
Like this.
(Sotol, in this case refers to a kind of cactus. Not a beverage that’s related to tequila. I just wanted to clear that up.)

Two walls
Well, someone likes contrasts, don’t they?
Generally, adobe walls are covered with a layer of stucco to keep the adobe from melting. The wall on the left shows what happens when the layer of stucco is left off.
The contrast between the adobe and the more permanent mortar makes interesting patterns of light and textures. And the contrast between the adobe wall and the smooth stucco one beside it provides another nice set of contrasts.
(I don’t know this for sure, but I think the Judd Foundation uses this particular type of non-stuccoed adobe walls around some of its properties. It’s artistic. I suppose.)
