the sky is burning

this photo began as a leafless tree against a bright blue sky, but I like this better.

Gray Skies are gonna...

 THERE IS HOPE.

Behind every bank of gray clouds, it is blue.

Refuse

we throw it all away-

Under the 101 Freeway on Melrose Avenue, I came across this shopping cart full of trash.

 I imagined it in a happier time when all of the trash pouring out of it was new product and shopping cart rolled proudly through the aisles of some market somewhere.

Once filled with vendibles, now filled with refuse.
