The warm-up (with ball boy)

A few weeks ago, we had front-row seats to the Texas Tech softball game, and got there early enough to watch the players, and a very small bat boy, warm up.

A cemetery on the plains

I go by this little cemetery several times a year. I never stop – it’s too muddy, or too windy, or I’m running late, or I don’t have the right camera, or lots of other reasons.

But then, the other day, I did stop.

Bench, below

At the first level spot below the rim of the canyon, a narrow and broken bench is weathering away. I check on it often, but it’s never seemed right to drag it back up to the top and try to repair it. I guess it’s more compelling as the subject of photos than it would be as something to sit on.

At the barricade

Earlier this spring, I rented a camera for a week, and used it as often as I could – I wanted to get my money’s worth!

That’s why I was walking around the civic center on a Saturday morning, where I found two out-of-work barricades and a trash can.

Maybe all that sadness with roadside crosses was a little bit too much yesterday.

This is a happier shot (if you overlook the vandalism part of it, I mean.).
