The vacant lot

behind my house seemed as good a place as any to take some pictures, since I was in the mood and decided that Bisbee was too far away for today (about a two hour drive). I will go there soon, though. I've heard there are a lot of neat old buildings--hopefully some abandoned--and nice little cafes and galleries and things. It would probably be better to go when I have some spending $, anyway, 'cuz I don't right now.

So instead I took some photos in the lot between our backyard fence, our neighbors fence, and the fenced-in well that belongs to Tucson Water. There's nothing too exciting to be seen back there. Just some sad looking prickly pears (some of which we dug up recently and planted in our yard), tufts of grass and shards of glass. A gourd I threw over the fence back in November. A rotten grapefruit. Barbed wire and clouds. And in my neighbors lot, a bunch of rusting cars and old tires and corroded pieces of scrap metal.
