One of my friends told me about this place because she was pretty sure I’d like to photograph it. That’s Interesting Detail 1.

Interesting Detail 2 is that I made this on the very first day I didn’t need the knee scooter I’d been using since mid-May. (I’ve moved on to a gorgeous primer-gray walking boot.)

Other than those things, this is just a pile of empty 5 gallon water bottles in a side yard of the Sierra Springs water store.

Hang on! I just discovered Interesting Detail 3: Google street view of this place was in 2023 and at that time, this area contained one roll-off dumpster, one white pickup with a camper shell, and not a single bottle.

As the Talking Heads said, “I got some wild, wild life.”
