spotter with pearl snap buttons and a bidder
Oh, man – I sure do like watching the auction spotters as they coax ever-higher bids from people who want to buy a horse. They have great facial expressions and mysterious hand signs and they never, ever look discouraged.

Lunch Lady
Color AND a person? I’m as surprised by this as you are.
(Backstory: we drove to Olton for lunch at a BBQ place that’s very good, and well worth the hour’s drive. It’s a food truck, and this woman was sitting at one of the picnic tables waiting on her lunch to arrive. Travel advice: if you like BBQ you may want to check out Rejino BBY, but get there early as they sell out.)

A wide range of options
Last August, I got a tattoo on my leg, to cover up the scar from knee-replacement surgery. I hated the scar, which made me feel really old since knee-replacement is sort of an old-person’s thing. I am aware that the tattoo is far more visible than the scar, and that my logic could be considered a bit flawed. But it makes me feel better about the whole situation.
And it gave me the cred I needed to head over to the local tattoo expo the other day.
I can’t explain my recent need to photograph people, though.

Weariness of travel
Remember the other day, when I said I didn’t make pictures of people, unless I did make pictures of people?
Same, here.
