Ruby Gate

Backyard gate, Phoenix, Arizona

A lock on the gate
And one on the door
Make sure that the thief
Will pilfer no more!

Poisonous Ruby Leaf

Poison oak leaf, Southern California

Little leaf of poison,
Lurking in the shade,
Rubbing you the wrong way—
Worst mistake I've made!

Trunk

 

An early Sunday morning view of the outdoor dining area of the enchanting Trunk restaurant in Melbourne.

The building was originally built in 1859 as a synagogue.

It then became a state school until 1892 and then became a child care facility for this slum and poor area of Melbourne.

Now that fabric has disappeared, and the premises has been operating as a restaurant since 1980.

And the food is brilliant!

meandering space

many odd shapes and profiles

many old secrets

Ruby Marketplace

Chase Creek Marketplace, Clifton, Arizona

If you need a small memento
To remember Clifton by,
Chase Creek Marketplace is open—
Something there will catch your eye!

where souls have freedom to smile
and enjoy the day

Desert Rubies

Ocotillo blossoms, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California

Ocotillo blossoms,
Little gems of red,
Queens would gladly wear you—
Or so someone said!
