still a loss (108 years later)
You’d have to be pretty cold-hearted for this lonely little gravestone to not make you feel sad for Hudson and Mary. In my opinion.

welcome, only stay out
Sometimes I get the feeling that buildings send mixed messages. Here’s an example: a cross on the door AND a padlock, keeping everyone out.

the crossing of things
This place is unbelievable – I walked across the bridge and looked down (way the hell down!) to the river below. I tried to imagine what it would be like to see a kayak going by and what the kayaker’s view up would be. I tried not to notice how much the bridge vibrated when trucks drove by. I tried not to think about how freaking many trucks there were. And I tried to make it all the way across before I had a heat stroke.
Oh, and I took some photos, too.

privacy curtain
You know how sometimes you pull into a little town and it seems friendly and you think about stopping for lunch or a coffee so you can have little bit of time chatting with the locals? And then later you check VBRO because it seems like maybe you’d like to go back for a long weekend and you wonder what your options are?
This town is…not that sort of place.

pivots around water
A lot of farms around here are irrigated by center-pivot systems and their spindly frames and slow-motion circles are familiar sights. But for some reason, getting to see one in operation right next to the road is a rare thing; when my photographer friends and I saw this one, of course we stopped (after making the traditional u-turn) to get a closer look.
And photographs. We also got photographs.
