Tombstones may be on the move

Is it just me? (Probably)

Those short, bright tombstones give the appearance of congregating, ready to move along.

At any rate, I left the cemetery before they did.

There seem to be a lot of entertainment options here, and you probably share my interest in finding out what Del the Funky Homosapien is all about.

Just before I found these posters, I had an Incident: I tried to go into a bookstore, but the security thing at the entrance went off when I went in. The stoner guy behind the counter asked me to go out and come in again, which of course made the security thing go off two more times. He looked at my (very small) purse, and even through his herbal haze could tell I wasn’t using it to smuggle a book into the place. (Who’d smuggle a book IN, anyway?) Then he spotted the (much larger) camera, and had a Good Idea. He thought maybe I could just leave my camera with him while I looked around the store. I countered with a Better Idea: that my camera, my purse, and I just go ahead and leave. Which made the security thing go off one more time…

I bet you’re sorry you didn’t get to see me frame up this shot! I really wanted to place the tall monument in the back between the arches of the foreground marker. I had to raise up on tiptoes, lean in over another marker, try to miss sun flares, and tilt to the left. It’s a little bit of a miracle that I didn’t injure myself.

Because of course I walked down an alley the other day when I was in Boulder. Which is how I got see the late sun illuminating this basketball goal.
