A photograph of the farmhouse in Kingman County, Kansas where I would spend the latter part of my teenage years before moving out of the state, and where my mother still resides. Taken from the far edge of a large grass yard while standing on a dirt driveway. The grass is brown as the weather turns cold. A small, one story, white vinyl siding farm house with two sets of shuttered windows, a brick chimney, and a gray tile roof sits at the other edge of the yard. In front of the house is a black colored steel bird feeder. There is a small enclosed garage, and several open air parking spots underneath a tin roof for larger farm equipment. Three black colored vehicles sit at the far side of the frame opposite the house. Many trees, a few perennial, encircle the property. A yellow and red bucket once containing cat litter is laying on its side in the yard. A patch of taller uncut grass in the yard is in the lower left corner of the frame. One of the trees has many small black birds resting in it. A metal pole taller than the house and trees holds a satellite internet dish to provide the most unreliable connectivity you can imagine. Underneath a light blue sky nearing dusk. There are no people in the scene.
