Rain/Tank
Earlier this spring, it rained. It rained a lot. As a result weeds grew at an alarming rate, mosquitoes hatched, and the rainwater collection tanks got full.

Fuselage
When I was in Roswell, I skipped going to the famous (or famous-ish) International UFO Museum and Research Center and Gift Shop*, **. Instead I visited the dead-airplane repository out at the airport. Part of the place had airplanes that were more or less intact (including an Emirates Air 747, which was definitely not something I thought I’d ever see at all, let alone see in Roswell), but there was also the Fuselage Department (I made that name up)(which you probably already figured out) pictured here. And there was the Pieces of Engines Division. And, of course, the Bureau of Random Pieces. And some other stuff I didn’t make up names for.
It’s hard to imagine the space alien museum being more interesting or photogenic than this old stuff.

*I love that they were honest and included “gift shop” in the name.
**There’s a big event there at the museum (and gift shop) July 1-4, so you’ve still got time to make your travel plans.
Tire + Appliance
This isn’t the first time that I’ve noticed a store window display full of giant dresses. It’s also not the first time the reflection from across the street has added to the scene. And it’s also not the first time I’ve photographed it.

some things are never found
Really, sometimes the jokes really DO write themselves. Like this “Lost & ” sign on the wall at the municipal swimming pool.
