Shamrock Slaughter
I don’t know what I expected to see in Shamrock. But it wasn’t this.

The Grotto
An Oklahoman of my acquaintance tipped me off about this grotto in the cemetery in Canute. The door was locked, but as you may have noticed I often shoot through glass. And that’s what I did. There’s just no stopping me.

Bowling alley (out of business)
It was almost too good to be true: an out of business bowling alley with front windows that my camera and I could look through. And as the best possible bonus, there were those three bowling balls on the checkered floor, looking for all the world like some kind of abandoned game.

Awning
This little place had a lot of textures, with brick, another kind of brick, two styles of glass block, an awning, benches, a planter, and those curtains. It was, in other words, just my kind of place.

PJs
The windows at this out-of-business store were papered over, probably to keep people like me from peeking inside. However, a tape failure gave me the opportunity I was seeking. And I try to not let opportunities pass me by – I think they’re placed in my path for a reason – so I sure did look into the display window. And was richly rewarded by those pajamas. Although those buttons look like they are not very sleep-friendly, which may account for the pjs never selling.
