Yesterday’s picture of wide-open spaces and a comment from a fellow Plains dweller made me start to think about how closed in everything felt when I lived in New Orleans.

And that made me look back at pictures from my last trip to the city, in 2010.

I found these sad flowers at the Metairie Cemetery. Even though they are plastic, they still look wilted.

Sometimes when things end, you know it: the pieces are stacked up, you part with a handshake, and life goes on. Other times, you never see the end until it’s already gone.
