His afflicted mother

I will always check to see if the church door is unlocked; I always hope that it will be. And when it is, I consider it an invitation to come on in and look around.

that may have been the last rainy summer (2015 )

I have tried for several years to get THE picture of this rain-fed wading pool in this desert park. It hardly rains any more, it seems, so this pool has been dry for years. And a dry wading pool wasn’t what I was after.

But there was that wet summer of 2015…and this photo waiting patiently (I assume) for me to notice that maybe the photo I was after has been there all along.

A stark and gruesome scene along the highway caught my attention. So you know what I did next, of course.
