live free (but purchase food)
I really can’t quite make the connection between fast-food at Sonic and living free. But the sky was pretty.

tricks to trucks
It was right about in here the other night, as we drove around so I could photograph stuff from the car window, that a woman in a white truck seemed to find our actions suspicious enough to warrant her keeping an eye on what we were doing. She followed us all the way through the neighborhood and for a few miles after we left. I guess she wanted to make sure we were REALLY leaving. Or (and this is less likely) she was wanting to copy my Artistic Technique.
Either way: we made it home.
But aside from all that, the sign that says “tricks to trucks” makes me laugh. I want it to be the title of some sort of redemption tale of a sex worker who found her true calling as a truck mechanic.

floral/arrangement
Why, yes, I DO have a new lens. I got a LensBaby Sweet 50 – it was part of my medium-term plan to keep busy while my foot gets well enough to walk on. That’s 25 more days, for those of you keeping track, so I needed to think of a project that I could do inside my house. And like skillful photographers everywhere, I used that little project as a justification for a new lens. I mean, I only had to convince myself and I’m notoriously easy to sway, but still you never know.

home, reduced
This old farmhouse had been reduced. Not in the real estate way of a price reduction for a quick sale, but more in the “push all a’ that house up in a pile and Herschel or one a’ them’s gonna come by an’ burn it. Once that dad-blame wind stops.”
