Two Stories
I was around behind an out-of-business place, because of course I was. Otherwise, how would I have ever spotted this magical scene of a pickup cab sitting atop its own bed?

Laundry Day
In 2015, I spent a glorious two weeks in Nova Scotia, making photos. I made a LOT of them. Everywhere we went, we saw laundry hanging out to dry. I wanted a photo of someone’s laundry and I tried and tried but left for home without The Laundry Photo that I wanted.
So, time passed…the way it does.
And last month I was someplace less maritime than Nova Scotia – San Jon, New Mexico, to be precise – but that still provided me many opportunities to make the kind of photos I love to make.
And, also, finally: I got a picture of some laundry hanging out to dry.

it depends on the way that you see
This cemetery had one of the few expressly-designated paupers areas that I have ever seen. Most of the markers in that part of the cemetery were non-existent and the simple concrete markers on the rest of them had eroded to the point where the graves were mostly just marked by pieces of rebar.

Post Office (flyover country)
If you take one route to get somewhere, you are morally bound to find another way back. (I suspect that not all of y’all abide by this as strictly as you should, but who I am to judge?)
Anyway, my route home from Tucumcari the other day landed by here, in Bellview. (FYI: I never did find the bells.)

the place so nice they named it twice
It was a pretty nice cemetery – I’ll grant them that. But doubling the signage? OK…I guess I’ll let that go, too. Because that’s the kind of mood I’m in.
