Little Joe is creepy
Everything about this is creepy – from the death of 16 month old child, to the man-looking face to the oddly shaped feet to the giant-size hands to the fact that the man/child seems to be resting his head on a book. So naturally, I made a photograph.

Sky Wire
The last row of family plots, at the top of a hill, had fences around them. I don’t know if they were trying to keep people/spirits in or out. But I do know that I made this photo from inside one of those grave-cages, so maybe they aren’t as effective as they were meant to be?

Dish Cupboard
Y’all, I did a thing. It’s a thing that’s not as far outside my comfort zone as it used to be but that’s still not a thing I can do without sort of having to talk myself into it.
The thing I did was to go inside the Historic Rocksprings Hotel and have a chat with the owner. I wasn’t staying there or anything – I was passing through town and decided to stop and look at the place. She was perfectly lovely, and let me take photos, and I lived to tell about it. Amazing! And I might even do something like this again; you just never know.
Here’s the dish and cookbook sections of the kitchen that’s on the back of the first floor. There’s not a restaurant – just a big kitchen with lots of pots and pans and dishes and guests are encouraged to prepare their own meals.

Hymnals, with dust
“It’s open – you just got to turn the knob real hard to the left,” a kindly woman hollered at me from her house across the street.
And that’s how I got to see these hymnals.

defies explanation
I ended up in this tiny town because there was an unfortunate sign out on the highway that I wanted to photograph (although I will not dignify its message by posting a photo), and while I was at it, I went ahead and checked out the town. And that’s how I happened to see a weather-worn sign for a gun sale and a dinosaur in the same spot.
It was practically my lucky day.
