spring, a few months away
The wind blew the next day, steady and strong, to scatter these seeds to ensure new plants come spring.

there wasn’t even time to pack the applesauce
I’ve been a fair number of abandoned places and they generally have the same elements: busted furniture, caved in ceilings, dirt, junk. But this was the first place I’d ever seen fourteen jars of baby food that did not make the leave-or-take cut when the family cleared out. There were other signs of children having lived there (toys, a framed portrait of a little girl) but it was this applesauce that grabbed at my emotions.

fuji (with fuji)
It’s either a bicycle joke or a camera joke, depending on what your perspective is.
You might think it would be twice as funny, but it’s really not. (Even though I did laugh pretty hard.)

parallels
I don’t even mind the way those wind turbines look against the sky. And what about the way they seem barely tethered below the horizon? Or the way the contrails line up with them?

one horn
If you want to know the truth (and, really, of course you do), I didn’t even notice when I made this picture that the bison had only one horn; by my calculations just now, that reduced my chances of getting gored by half. But even if I had known, I still would have stayed in the car to get the shot. I’m pretty sure a one-horned bison could still do some damage.
