Some homes just look creepy and this large boarded up beauty is no exception. Found in rural northern Colorado and enhanced by wicked shadows, this house says do not enter.

Putty Nosed Pumpkin
© 2012 Michael Fiveson
In addition to Pumpkin’s putty colored nose, she has a tongue that sometimes does not fit in her mouth. This, of course, happens after she has exerted herself and is panting. We walk 1.1 mile(s) to a neighborhood park that does not allow dogs. That being the case, when we do go in we don’t have to worry about other dogs. Call me contrary. In truth there are no other people either. Today I counted how many times she pees on this walk and it was 6. No, she is not diabetic, just busy marking her turf. Silly putty nosed Pumpkin.
Daddy’s Caddy

Another beauty laying low in the junkyard. Many of us no doubt did have a father who drove a Cadillac. My father drove an Olds, but then he used to sell them and always drove something brand new. Before that he sold Fords for a bit and drove an Edsel for a time. Man that was one ugly car, but not this Caddy, which ruled the day, and lit up the night.

November Sky

A slow ride down a gravel road in Northern Colorado brought me to a placid farm topped by a sky laced with shades of blue, white, and purple. It is good to be alive.

As if in eternal rest, a pastel shell of a car sits in a Colorado junkyard with a seemingly endless field behind it. Perhaps this beauty looks so comfortable because it came from the open plains, where it carried a happy and loving family on many adventures. Its work long since completed, it sits and reflects, aging with grace and beauty.
Well Past Bizarre
This is the story of what I found a few days ago when I went into my basement to look for something located close to where I store my paint cans and buckets. This is what I saw…
Now what in the hell is that I wondered and upon closer examination saw this….
Apparently a can without a cap had some leakage and morphed into an alien from outer space, or at least looks like what I always thought they might look like. You can still see the spray nozzle that was consumed to create bone and structure…
Note the oblong cranium which is a sure sign of an advanced being with superior intellect..
This head is as hard as a….head, and must have formed some time ago. Note the brain which is partially outside the skull. So far it has not chosen to communicate with me, even though I find myself sending it messages….including “please don’t hurt me.”
WHY ME! WHY ME! (should I sell it on ebay?)

Liquor Pump

What a clever idea to have a u-pump it liquor dispenser. Just bring your own jug, set the dial to your choice of liquor, and away you go. I am a bourbon man and this pump dispenses a fine 90 proof sour mash that is great on the rocks, soda optional.
Barn and Chute

An old barn sits comfortably warmed by the Colorado sun. The cattle chute once made this a thriving ranch, and now provides fine company for this weathered barn.
Winter
it approaches
I can smell its wrath
feel it on my skin
even hear it
as it moves closer
promising isolation
loneliness
doubt
darkness
my favorite season
subsides
sad enough to cry leaves
dying slowly
overcome by time
and a tired sun
so I wait
wondering
if I can hide
inside
myself
again
