creepy-town
So. Littlefield. It’s….a place, for sure.
I looked through the window at this particular abandoned place and the conglomeration of things – those candleholders, the arched staff things, the chair, the mattress leaning on the wall, and that silhouette on the wall gave off a particularly sinister vibe.
Now, you might think that this plus that creepy dude from yesterday’s photo would have been enough to keep me from returning. But maybe you also know me and won’t be surprised to find out that I went back just a week later. And it was still creepy-town.

what the hell
Y’all. Y’ALL!!
I was making a series of photos of this plastic curtain waving in the breeze (at a place I assumed was abandoned because context clues) when a person (holy shit: a person!!) pulled back the curtain and looked at me.
No words. Not then, not now.

butter/fly
Oh, hello there, little fellow.
I meant to get a photo of the flower against the desolate downtown and was instead photobombed. (Come back tomorrow to see another photobomb example….)

stars + a summer storm
I really do feel bad for people who live in a place where their views are obscured by trees and hills or mountains, because they miss out on the opportunity to sit outside in the evening and watch thunderstorms march across the Plains.
The other night I was at my place out in the country and spent a few delightful hours watching storms.

tunas
After a fantastic bloom, the cactus flowers turn into tunas, which can be green, red, wine-red, or orange. They’re commonly eaten in Mexico and Mediterranean regions, and they can also be made into aguas fresas.
Fun fact: I’ve lived in Texas almost my whole life and the only place I’ve eaten them is in Sicily, where they were served at breakfast. And they were tastier than you might think.
