It was a weird travel day. Our direct flight to Lubbock got rerouted just before we landed – there was a huge storm that got to Lubbock just ahead of us. We flew to the next closest storm-free town and sat on the plane for a couple of hours. During that time, the flight attendants did five (5!!!) separate head counts; I am not sure how the number could have possible changed from the number that was on the flight to begin with, but I guess you have to look useful or something. The first two times, the flight attendant was using some kind of electronic device to verify passengers; the last two times she was using an air-sick bag to record her counts. (Also, a little kid near me told me the bag was to breathe into in case you got scared.)
In the meantime, my husband was at the airport waiting for me. And it turns out not only was my seat mate’s husband also at the airport, but he was hanging out with MY husband.
Anyway, by the time I eventually got home, everything I saw was blurry like this photo.

richard, in the sky
Some people see bunnies or faces or dragons or castles when they look at the clouds.
I am not one of them. I mostly saw a formation that I named “Richard” – if you seen what I mean.

tables
Hello and welcome to All The Tables Day, the long-awaited moment when I assemble all the tables in a particular town and make a photograph.
I mean, it’s sort of not as comprehensive as it sounds, as this town only has the one building and it only has one room. But still.

Ps: If you stay for Most Of The Curtains Day, you’ll see this exact same image. FYI.
rocking/horse
Barrel race practice = photo opportunities = practice with panning = lots of failures = some technically weak photos that still are compelling. (This one reminds me of a kid’s rocking horse.)

too big to survive
I know for sure that this was the longest car on the whole block and feel confident that it was also the longest car in the entire town.
I tried to imagine parking a car this long…do you think there were smaller cars that operated like tugboats to nudge it into place?
Also, my shooting partner and I were surveilled while we were there – the business owner and his wife drove over* to see what we were up to after his camera alerted him that there was someone walking around. He was sort of belligerent at first but we were charming. According to us. Also we were on the public right of way so we sort of had that on our side and they decided to let us stay.

*They wheeled up so fast it was like something was on fire.
