her whole heart wasn’t in it

When I’m traveling, I can happily spend airport time making photos. And, also, I like to create stories about the people I see – I’m not stalker-y or anything; I just make a few quick assumptions about them and about where they’re going and why they need to be there today. And this woman? I only saw half of her, but am pretty sure that she was only half-hearted about making that particular trip…

dishes, down

At some point there was a catastrophic kitchen failure – the cabinet with all the dishes just…fell off the wall. However, based on context clues around the building, it may not even matter that much.

Beer!!

That bowlegged gentleman painted on the side of the building promises “BEER!” but do not believe him. Just keep going – you’ll find a beer store soon enough.

His afflicted mother

I will always check to see if the church door is unlocked; I always hope that it will be. And when it is, I consider it an invitation to come on in and look around.

that may have been the last rainy summer (2015 )

I have tried for several years to get THE picture of this rain-fed wading pool in this desert park. It hardly rains any more, it seems, so this pool has been dry for years. And a dry wading pool wasn’t what I was after.

But there was that wet summer of 2015…and this photo waiting patiently (I assume) for me to notice that maybe the photo I was after has been there all along.
