flight/path

One thing about grain elevators is that they always have live-in pigeons.

I planned on getting a photo of a lot of them flying around this particular elevator, but I just got the one in flight. I guess I could have used AI to add in a big flock, but I actually didn’t think about that when I was editing this photo.

And wouldn’t have done it even if I had thought of it.

But I could have.

I enjoyed finding this bright spot of color in an otherwise brown alley (in a town called Brownfield).

in a dusty climate

I am sure my late mother-in-law thought I was a terrible housekeeper*. But I am also sure she didn’t understand living in a dusty climate and the way the damn dust just filters in and lands on everything, despite your best efforts.

(To clarify: this isn’t my house.)

*Naturally, the blame (or whatever) fell on me. Not on my husband. That was How Things Were. Additional examples can be provided upon request.

the damp crept in

I mean, the damp didn’t so much creep in as it just let itself fall right in through the holes in the roof and the broken windows. It just sounds fancier to say it crept in….
