State Bound – how exciting!

Wow! State bound!! How exciting. I only hope their efforts ended on a happier note than these businesses did.

it had been a wet spring

The mud around this abandoned building (a school? a church?) was formidable, and after consideration of the mess that would be involved, I marked further exploration of this place as “come back when it’s dry.” And, as a sort of a consolation prize, I photographed the flowers instead.

I know: a poor substitute for what I was really after. But it was the best I could do that day.

This is saddest baseball field that I’ve ever seen.

gas/poison

It’s scenic out here, only maybe not in a traditional way. Oh, and also? Watch for poison gas, and poisonous snakes, too.

Cross (with hat and mask)

This is the same location I’d photographed in 2015, but nothing looked the same. I think this indicates even more fatalities at this particular intersection, but it might also mean that grieving families are still visiting and adding to their loved one’s memorial.
