neighborhood history
Oh, this? Just a run-down laundry (that seems to have run so far down that it is out of business) in an even more run-down neighborhood.
It feels like maybe at one point the plan was to repaint the whole sign, but the project was abandoned only two letters in.

One of the houses on the local garden tour had a gorgeous oasis for a back yard. One of my favorite things were the water features; no matter where I went in the yard, I could hear the sounds of water. It felt cool. And relaxing.
I did mention to the owner of the house (and garden!) that I was planning to move in. I was nice about it – I wasn’t even asking him to leave or anything; at the very least I’ll need him there to maintain the yard. He sort of acted like it was a joke; later at least one of us is going to be surprised…

this is how my tale begins
This is not the first time I’ve not broken any photographic ground by making a short depth-of-field photo of this same white picket fence.
And you know what? I bet the next time I visit, I’ll not-break that same ground. I can’t help myself.
