I was just waiting out the layover time by practicing taking blurry pictures. (Some people are especially gifted and can get blurry photos without even trying!)

But the other thing I was doing was laughing about the name of the store on the other side of the walkway.

Goodness – where did the middle of that person go? It feels like seeing the inside of a magic trick.

(In addition to reading a book* while I waited for my flight, I also made a few photos. That first thing might surprise you, but the second one won’t. I’m pretty sure.)

*I read Three by Valérie Perrin, which met my criteria of being long – 550 pages – and being a paperback. I bought it at Magic City Books in Tulsa, which is an awesome bookstore that you ought to visit.

When I’m traveling, I can happily spend airport time making photos. And, also, I like to create stories about the people I see – I’m not stalker-y or anything; I just make a few quick assumptions about them and about where they’re going and why they need to be there today. And this woman? I only saw half of her, but am pretty sure that she was only half-hearted about making that particular trip…

This? Oh just killing time at Gate 7 while I waited to board the flight home. (I almost never get bored at airports.)
