This is a sad photo. It makes me sad to think of the emotional physical pain that permeates our days. Hopefully we are not out and brighter days are ahead.
Oh yeah, it is bursting with them actually. A wonderful writing prompt.
Even down to whatever is stamped on that piece of wood. And whether that wood is in fact a box… And that dog escaped and now look at it. Turned into a toy in the shadow of a pitiless zimmer frame. Going now.
That sucks. Yeah, a lot of our businesses downtown are also boarded up, it’s bizarre to see the big hotels all boarded, and heart-wrenching to see the mom and pop shops still closed.
Aww, what a sad, scary shot.
Tim, I feel so bad for Albuquerque & the citizens. I know you told me that rioters busted up windows, and they got boarded up. Why riot? It’s not just unproductive, it’s counter productive.
Yet, that little stuffed animal is so clean, and makes so no sense to be there that it seems to represent something hopeful… not out!
Downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico
Off Center & Not Even 
That is an interesting image that begs for stories. 🙂
Thanks, Susan.
And he/she is so clean! ðŸ¤
Not out! Thanks, John.
I doubt the story is a happy one…dropped toy, abandoned walker and boarded up building. Not good.
The sad state of downtown Albuquerque post riots. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
I hate it when you can’t take your pet in when you get coffee. At least that one isn’t a runner requiring the leash. 😉
I don’t think that was quite the case here. Thanks, Jordan.
🙂 It just felt like someone with their walker who put down their or kid’s/grandkid’s plush toy to go in somewhere.
An interesting image, and a sad one, too. You find many such slices of life there, Tim.
We had a warm, but with a cooling breeze here today. Rick and I got some work done in the gardens, much more left, waiting for us.
Would like to hear more of your flamenco guitar work, new or old. You are inspiring!
Thanks, Lavinia. I have played flamenco in quite awhile now. It would take a lot of pratice to come up with something.
One could make up so many stories to go with this image. It is rather sad.
Thanks, Dale. It is sad. The whole of downtown is sad.
😔
Sad indeed, Sir.
Thanks, Inchcock.

There’s always hope. Thanks, Holly.
And beautiful Owls and slippery frogs that keep us hanging in there. Thank you Timothy.
Oh my… a sad image… I hope things got somewhat better there after the riots and such.
Downtown is fairly abandoned. Between the lockdown and the riots, I expect many of the few businesses that are there will recover. Thanks, Nancy.
Story here somewhere . Oh yes.
Lots of stories. Thanks, Shehanne.

It’s been a while since you took us downtown, looks like there are a lot of boarded-up shop fronts?
Hi Tiffany. A lot has been closed because of the lockdown, but now a lot of the buildings on Central are boarded up after the rioter broke windows.
That sucks. Yeah, a lot of our businesses downtown are also boarded up, it’s bizarre to see the big hotels all boarded, and heart-wrenching to see the mom and pop shops still closed.

Thanks, Resa. It’s really depressing. I have been taking walks downtown because I find all the boarded up buildings too depressing to walk by.
Understandable! My sympathies!
