The long legs of evening

The afternoon sun makes the shadow into a shape that reminds me of long, skinny legs.

The Fence

To be honest, I am not entirely sure what the purpose of this fence is. To keep that mostly-dead mesquite tree from advancing? To create an additional challenge for the person who mows*? To keep very fat, but not very smart, snakes at bay?

But it doesn’t really matter when it does such a good job of hanging on to the low afternoon light.

*Yeah, so I am the person who mows.

Sometimes you have to make your own fun.

Other times, you have to make your own topography.

Geometries

Maybe you know how it is – how that plain metal building and that basketball goal are so plain, so every-day, that you hardly notice them. Until that one day, when the sun’s right and the photographer’s mood is, too, and it is suddenly something that’s almost otherworldly.

That’s what happened here.
