reflections of small town life
Every time I go to Littlefield, there’s something that catches my attention. On this particular trip I made a lot of photos of this shiny thing (not a mirror – I don’t know what it was) leaning against a wall. I particularly noticed the way its reflection was monochromatic while the rest of the scene, though quite ragged, was colorful.

number 8, on the move
Number eight, over there on the right is in the fifth grade. She’s been playing soccer since she was in pre-Kindergarten. She’s also played volleyball, basketball, and softball. She plays golf with her dad and can’t wait until she’s old enough to run track at school.
This season, she’s also playing flag football so there are two games almost every Saturday.
And she’s my granddaughter Bennett.

decorative water
You could hear this little fountain before you could see it. Or photograph it, as far as that goes.

roadside jesus
There were two or three people out that day, wearing yellow safety vests and cleaning up litter from the roadside. If my memory is correct, that section of the highway had been adopted in memory of someone; it’s reasonable to assume the people I saw were related to the in-memory-of person.
Anyway, this wagon was partly filled with some of the larger trash they’d picked up that day.
