An unsecured location
The front door of our country home.
Or, to be accurate, what’s left of the front door of a hut on some land we’ve got out in the country. The hut came with the place, and has been in the process of falling down for a decade. There’s a hole in the roof now, so I don’t image it will make it through many more winters.
You can see other shots of the hut here and here and here and here.

All the blue
The back side of the morning’s rain clouds were the very same blue-grey color of the old truck. This was one of those rare times when I knew for certain that the resulting photo would be posted in color…

Chair skeleton
Look! A chair skeleton! It was an amazing sight.
Out back, behind this abandoned farmhouse, there was a dog skeleton. And further out, we caught a whiff of something that was on its way to becoming a skeleton (if you know what I mean). All of which makes this place sound a lot more macabre than it really was.

It was all yellow
We spent the day driving around with some friends – those rare kinds of friends who really don’t mind if you want to stop approximately every seven minutes to take a picture of something you saw beside the road. I’ve written about this before, about feeling rushed when you’re with people who are used to your peculiar ways, and how it can have a negative impact on your work. But these friends got it and didn’t mind stopping – in fact, they encouraged it. And, even better: they suggested some places to go that they thought I’d like.
This was one of their suggestions, and it was a treasure of visuals. Like this room, that used to be even more yellow than the way I saw it.

Spring storms
I was driving home from a meeting; there were clouds on the western horizon that gave a gold tint to the light. In the east and north were remnants of a storm that had had a tornado in it. It was a nice change to see so many clouds; the on-going drought has meant a lot fewer spring storms than usual.
Unless NOT having spring storms is the new usual.
I made a u-turn (safely, I mean, when the traffic conditions permitted) to get back around to capture this.
