   this is both beautiful and hurts. I want to ask questions but I don’t want to know.

   Very nice, Barry.

   And I think I get what you’re saying, Deron. Just north of where I live, there is a string of Wisconsin towns whose citizens devote themselves fervently to the creation of front yard tableaus. Viewing most of these scenes hurts me, yet I find something beautiful in the impulse I assume inspires these people.

   And I really do need to get back up there and photograph what appears to be the white wedding of a pale-faced female mannequin and a fiberglass horse.

   Sad and beautiful–the best combination.

   my sadness was mostly a byproduct of imagining myself at a high school reunion.

   For me, there is tremendous sadness in a middle-aged woman dressing as she did at her high school homecoming. It is possible to do this ironically, of course, in which case it would a happy/funny site. But without seeing more of her face, the image of an older woman wearing a letter jacket and elaborate corsage is, well, sad.
