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.
Check back for more shots from the Day of Driving and Photographing.

The Presley place, 1
It’s the usual story: the family farmhouse got left behind when the family moved to town. And so it sits….
But at least, in this case, the family stops in from time to time. And sometimes bring their camera-wielding friend along.

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.
