PJs
The windows at this out-of-business store were papered over, probably to keep people like me from peeking inside. However, a tape failure gave me the opportunity I was seeking. And I try to not let opportunities pass me by – I think they’re placed in my path for a reason – so I sure did look into the display window. And was richly rewarded by those pajamas. Although those buttons look like they are not very sleep-friendly, which may account for the pjs never selling.

twisted curtains
Maybe you saw yesterday’s post and happened to notice a window in the background? This is that same window, with a part of the left-behind thin curtains wrapped around the old wooden window frame and the other part flapping in the breeze.

the ending was as unplanned as it was predictable
I was driving on a remote road in the Texas Panhandle when I spotted this abandoned farmhouse. Because the terrain was flat and the house was so big, I saw it for a while before I got to it. I debated stopping to photograph the place – I was on my way to the first day of a photographic journey and had a lot of project-related things to shoot before the sun went down. But I did stop, and it was worth it. As always when I see places like this, I was mystified at the things that had been left behind by the last occupants. This sofa did not make the cut, for reasons that will always remain unknown.

Breakfast
I was there after breakfast – way, way after breakfast – so I can only imagine the tortilla-wrapped deliciousness at this roadside food truck.

broken
Out in the middle of Guthrie County (which is itself close to the middle of nowhere), there’s an out-of-business building. My best guess is that it was a restaurant-convenience store (and maybe a liquor store, too); it’s all gone to ruins now which is of course why I stopped to look around. The drive there had been foggy and I was hoping to be able to photograph it barely visible through the mist. However, the fog lifted just before I got there; otherwise, though, I wouldn’t have had this light slanting across the broken plate.
