Shadow Line

There is a surprising amount going on here, from the four circles to the one a/c unit to the stone trim to the boarded and bricked windows to the rhythm of the tiny arches.

But the best part was the shadows slanting away from their source.

I can’t stop the rain

Me, looking at map and at clouds: We’ll need to stop in Moran. I can find something there to put in the foreground.

If you need a sofa

Maybe, after all these stay-at-home months, you’ve gotten weary of your place. And maybe you’re thinking a change in furnishings might be just what you need to lift your spirits. And maybe you’re thinking specifically of acquiring a different sofa.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch:  I know where you can find one.

A pair of shoes and a flyswatter

If conditions permit, I will always peer inside an out-of-business business: I have a strange fascination with seeing what things were not important enough to have been taken. The best things I spotted here were the flyswatter hanging on the wall, and a pair of Crocs.

But that wall just behind the Crocs has a story, too. Someone had really good intentions – they framed it and installed the gyp board, but somehow the taping/floating/painting steps never happened.

Taken by Storm

 

Sometimes we’ll go an entire spring season without any storms to speak of. This is not one of those years; between where we stopped for this shot and our house (80 miles) we:

  • saw this storm
  • skirted a storm that had a tornado
  • pulled off the road to let storm ahead of us move out of the way
  • saw power poles just a block from our house leaning over from wind
  • made it home just minutes before yet another storm hit

It was one of very few times in my life when the weather has frightened me.
