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.

it was as sad as it was predictable
It’s way it goes out here in these declining rural towns: eventually the cost of keeping a school district going hits the economics of ever-declining enrollments and before you know it, the schools have consolidated themselves into one county-wide district. And the former school buildings – no longer necessary – fall over or burn down or otherwise fade from relevance.
