Bougainvillea is apparently a hearty plant–surviving better on neglect than the houses they were meant to enhance.

My Past Vengeance
Ajo, Arizona
2025

A curiously cryptic message sprayed on the side of an otherwise unremarkable stripped car. It had me really wanting to know what spawned that message. Adding to the intrigue is that the license tag on the back of the car shows an expiration day well into this year, even though the car has obviously been sitting there a long time. Quite the mystery.

The Way West
Ajo, Arizona

I’m back to riding some familiar trails on my bike. I rode them extensively when we were here last year and am planning on doing the same this time around. I really enjoy the expansive views and the minimal (although sadly increasing) number of people I encounter out there.

Me and Your Shadow
Ajo, Arizona
2025

The shadow from the closer palm tree fills in nicely for the obscured base of the palm tree behind the wall. I was just sitting on the plaza drinking tea when I happened to notice this conjunction. It was very specific to that exact time and the exact position I was sitting in. A few minutes earlier or later or a foot or two away from where I was sitting, I would not have seen this.
