Last winter’s hat
If you go to Maywood, Nebraska, and look through the door of the community hall, you can see a chair, a baseball uniform, a display case full of trophies, a basketball court. And you’ll also see last winter’s hat, hanging upside down and waiting for cold weather to return.

Salt is very popular
Evidently, salt is a very popular item in this part of Nebraska – it accounts for 25% of the words in the signs on this market.
On the other hand, maybe the proprietors over-estimated the need for salt: the place is out of business…

Market (closed Sunday)
The Patient Spouse and I have just returned from a drive across Nebraska, where we visited some of the towns he lived in as a child. This grocery store was there when he was a kid, and I sort of think the very same person still works there as a cashier… The place is closed on Sunday, so we’ll never know for sure.

Tree Claws
Last week, I was reading a call for entries for a photography show called “Trees” and the call was all about “the annual autumn spectacular” of changing colors, and the “joy of green leaves”, and how trees are “objects of beauty” and all I could think of was how different my own tree experiences are.

UPFATE: I did go ahead and submit five images of dead trees to that show. And this one got in to the gallery show at the Darkroom Gallery in Vermont. So there’s that.

Called on account of rain
I don’t get many opportunities to photograph in the rain (except for that time in Los Angeles with Ehpem when we spent the day in monsoon rains!) so this was a treat!
