Fig Tree and Tumbleweed Shed


Fig Tree and Tumbleweed Shed

One old lot on the corner, great spot with mature trees but no one to keep any of it. This old shed stuffed with tumbleweed and the fig trees encircling it looking like they may pick it up and move it soon. This again was overhung with laden pecan trees.

Is that the tumbleweed queuing up to go in the door?

That is. I even took a peek inside and discovered that it was stuffed full, no space for another to blow in. Perhaps someone was storing them, (thorny dangerous things, these) and the door fell open pouring them out. I'm not sure how wind filled the thing up on its own.

They get high winds often here, just seldom on the ground, usually rushing off the high bluffs at higher altitudes. If i had a job there, I could have gone for a purchase of this old lot. I love it.

Old brick and stone main house with a forgotten yard. Not a few of these in disrepair around town.

Just the kind of thing Lincs. This was built at the turn of the century when it was still the wild west. :-)

Yes, the last one. The first settlements were a little south in the 1860's by the early Mormons that settled Utah before it was part of the US. There was a big cotton mill. Then it became a winter destination and started to populate up the valley toward Zions Park, an already fascinating wonder.
