The Aftermath
One down, one to go.
This is not an uncommon sight around here, where the uncertainties of farming, the need of fewer people to work the same crops, the (periodic) rise of the oil and gas industries, the increasing population of elderly people, and other factors mean that walking away and letting nature take its course is a common decision.
For what it’s worth, I saw a bedpan, a hymnbook, and a straw hat in the rubble.

Thanks, John. I drove for about a half an hour to get some good skies; I think it was worth the time!

Nice find Melinda. I would like to shoot it but would worry about snakes.

My mother, who grew up on a ranch, always said the snakes were more afraid of us than we were of them. I never got confirmation from snakes….
