boot heel

The grave marker way down at the end of the cemetery had a thick square wooden post and several cowboy boots hanging from it. This boot, which was in full sun every single afternoon that wasn’t cloudy, was much the worse for that level of sun exposure. I don’t guess I understood how many nails there are in a boot until I saw this one.

yellow (dead and alive)

If I knew anything about what sort of flowers these are, I would definitely tell you. All I can say with any level of confidence, however, is that they are yellow. And here’s a color photo to prove that my botanical assessment is on point.

several levels of security

Really, I hope that none of you were under the impression that you could just…walk…into this abandoned mill complex. Because the security is very tight, with padlocks and chains, heavy twill tape, chainlink fencing with the pokey bits at the top, and barbed wire.

sun/shade

This guy? He was the smartest person on the whole First Friday Art Trail. It was hot – really hot, like 103° – and he had the foresight to bring his own shade structure with him.

Kudos, Umbrella Guy!

Also, check out the dude in the hoodie. I hope he was warm enough.

those eyes

This is the fabulous Miss Hannah Harvey, who rarely misses an opportunity to pose for a camera.

She’s smart and hilarious and a smart-ass and kind and loves big. And also: look at those blue eyes.*
