prom date
Based on the age and the outfits, my guess is that I was in San Diego on prom night. That young woman in the center appears to be very pleased with her date…

i couldn’t see (an abstraction)
Hello, and welcome to Tricks of the Trade Friday. Here’s another one in my ongoing series of photos shot through dirty windows. I guessed* at the focus, held the camera as high as I could, put it right up to the glass, and made the photo. I am not quite sure what the camera saw, but anyway – here it is.

* It was a guess. I cannot really claim it was even an educated guess. It was a straight-up guess.
stepping up
Well, just look at what I went and did! Yes! I walked around to the back of this building. It was worth the trip, because I found this nice scene, just waiting for me to arrive.

the sign of the feather
That giant, padlocked chain won’t really keep anyone from getting inside, since the glass is all broken. But still, it does perhaps serve as a warning.
But mostly, that feather – all ragged casting its shadow on the door frame….
(Unrelated to the photo, but while I was here, a man pulled into the parking lot. I was pretty sure he was about to invite me to move on along, but what he was actually there to do was to feed the stray cats. After he left, I walked around the end of the building and there were nearly a dozen cats happily dining on food that he’d thoughtfully placed in several places.)
