the newest start
It was a spring day with a solid cloud cover; the light was nicely diffused so I took advantage of it and made a little portrait of the new leaves emerging from the soon-to-be-unwieldly plant.
If you’re not from here, you might be surprised at how few days provide this kind of light: we sort of get used to shrugging our way through making images with bright sun and harsh shadows. You can’t control everything…

heavy
If y’all need a storage box – especially one that’s heavy -please let me know. I may know of one that’s available.

feels like desperation
I could feel the owner’s increasing desperation as I read the signs painted on the windows at this abandoned place.
But I am also entertained by the phone numbers, which seem truncated so that only the locals will be able to call. I’m not in real estate or anything but it sort of seems like if you’re really wanting to unload your property and there are only 580 people in your whole town, maybe putting a complete phone number would be advantageous.

only slow
My hotel room was billed as having a “city view” and I guess that it did, technically. I mean, it wasn’t a skyline view or anything like that, but everything I could see from the 7th floor was indeed part of the city. Including the newly-painted street directions.

after-hours bar
There was something about that fruit, left over from the night before, that called to me. And then, when I saw that red towel, I was unable to resist making a photo. (Although, if I am being honest, I would have made it without the towel.)
