Stepstool
The windows were boarded up, almost all the way to the roof. There was a gap, though, which led me to use one of my favorite photographic techniques: propping the camera on any available level surface and shooting without actually knowing what I was going to get. In this case, as you can see, I got some shelves that are leaning all kinds of ways, one dangling light bulb, and piles of pigeon (or rodent) crap.
And a stepstool that reminded me of one we had when I was a kid.

It was apparent that this place was no longer in use, which made those curtains that much sadder, somehow.
And look! Even more yucca.

The Yucca Field
I suppose there is a good reason for a field of yucca to flourish, when all the surrounding spots are largely yucca-free. It’s just that I don’t know what it is.
(Here’s what I DO know: pants and/or snake boots would have been a less scratchy option than my skort-and-Converse outfit.) (And on a completely unrelated note, does anyone know where I could purchase snake boots?)
