That fierced-faced player is my granddaughter Bennett. Off the soccer field, she’s the sweetest kid you’ll ever meet but she’s super competitive otherwise.
Soccer is her favorite, but she’s also played softball, basketball, volleyball, flag football, and golf. And she is, she assures me, the fastest runner in her grade – “Even faster than the boys,” she reported. I believe her.

(un)intentional camera movement
This was the day I wore a purple ballcap. It was also the day I was fiddling with my camera because I was getting bored with being a passenger. And ( ! ) it was the VERY SAME DAY that I accidently took this photo, which I don’t even hate.

silence carries
The back side of a disused grain elevator, with a long lens. The distance and the wind combined to make the sounds of all the pigeons impossible to hear, which is an uncommon auditory experience around these old places.

going up against chaos
Just before the railroad overpass, there’s an L-shaped building that’s painted bright green. You can’t miss it.
It used to be a restaurant, and fading lettering on the outside of the building lists some of the options – tortas, tacos, burritos, tripas*, lengua**, and so forth. The short side of the L, toward the back of the lot, has a missing window. If you look in, you can see a mysterious pile of unbroken piñatas. And a framed picture of a giraffe with a price tag that says $39.99. That’s a pretty good price for art and a shrewd bargainer could probably get a piñatas or two thrown in.
