Bench, below
At the first level spot below the rim of the canyon, a narrow and broken bench is weathering away. I check on it often, but it’s never seemed right to drag it back up to the top and try to repair it. I guess it’s more compelling as the subject of photos than it would be as something to sit on.

At the barricade
Earlier this spring, I rented a camera for a week, and used it as often as I could – I wanted to get my money’s worth!

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.
