My adventures from yesterday

I met a lovely gal in Photography class, Sherry. She as bee thinking of starting a blog here, and I hope she does. I think she would like it. Anyway, we decided to go out and explore the Tribal graveyard and some abandoned houses yesterday with our cameras. At the graveyard it was very interesting to see so many names there that are names for places in my state, like Seattle and Cowlitz. It was also kind of disturbing to see so many small markers with no names on them, just the words "at rest". So many anonymous. w

After that we went and found these three abandoned houses I have seen several times out of the side window of our car. They were in such bad decay I would not dare go inside, especially the first building, the floors had fallen away from the walls, and molding on the bottom of the wall was framing open air below it. The other side was another house that was filled with garbage. Piles of trash bags ripped open by people looking for treasure, animals looking for food, and hard winds and rains. We jokes as we walked around about how recent our tetanus shot was, and how if we fell through the soft spot on the ground to save our cameras. It was so overstimulating. So much stuff. Then there was a two story shop, it was burned recently. Opening up the roof for lovely skylights.
