Getting back into the US at Pembina, ND. Turned out to be harder to get INTO this country than getting out. Dumb ass border guard working the booth that day. My little brother and I really look suspicious.
The other side of the wall that divides one of the richest cities in the USA
and one of the most troubled cities in Mexico. The story of people that were
deported from the USA after living there for half of their lives and leave their
wives and children behind, choosing to live a marginal life in Tijuana in
hoping to make it back one day. No documents, no communication with their families in the USA.

The border fence can be seen meandering through the center of this scene. Notice the road coming down from the Mexican side, which is the reason for this fence. It is made of old railroad rails welded together and is a barrier to vehicles but not foot traffic.

I've been playing with my Bamboo and doodle borders this morning. I have wanted to create my own doodle borders for photos for a long time and a friend that is a photographer gave me a bit of a nudge when we talked recently. I have fun stretching my skills and learning how to make new things. This was a stretch, but now I feel pretty confident in doing it. I can't wait to think of some new ideas to give a go. I definitely still have a lot to learn about making these all come together and doing exactly what I want. I love having a cute clipping mask for future photos, though!

Border Station (14,714 square feet)
4732 S Battlefield Boulevard/100 Caratoke Highway, Chesapeake, VA/Moyock, NC
Built and opened in 1998
I've always been intrigued by this store during my commutes to the Outer Banks, but, if I'm not mistaken, I've never actually stopped in here. So while I was out today I figured it was finally time to see what the Border Station has to offer! The building literally sits on the NC/VA state line, which is represented by blue and red tiles running diagonally across the floor, and is technically split into two sections for each state. The Virginia side seen in this photo houses most of the typical convenience store products, including some food stuff from Stuckey's, plus their own lottery program and those weird skill games I've seen in various places in the state recently. Meanwhile, the North Carolina side houses a walk-in tobacco shop, the Mister Jim's restaurant, their own lottery program, some beach-related goods, and fireworks. It’s a pretty unique place for what would otherwise be a tourist trap!

To say that she came into me,
from another world, is not true.
Nothing comes into the universe
and nothing leaves it.
My mother — I mean my daughter did not
enter me. She began to exist
inside me — she appeared within me.
And my mother did not enter me.
When she lay down, to pray, on me,
she was always ferociously courteous,
fastidious with Puritan fastidiousness,
but the barrier of my skin failed, the barrier of my
body fell, the barrier of my spirit.
She aroused and magnetized my skin, I wanted
ardently to please her, I would say to her
what she wanted to hear, as if I were hers.
I served her willingly, and then
became very much like her, fiercely
out for myself.
When my daughter was in me, I felt I had
a soul in me. But it was born with her.
But when she cried, one night, such pure crying,
I said I will take care of you, I will
put you first. I will not ever
have a daughter the way she had me,
I will not ever swim in you
the way my mother swam in me and I
felt myself swum in. I will never know anyone
again the way I knew my mother,
the gates of the human fallen.

TCA hosted its Fifth Annual Bridging Border Barriers event on Wednesday, November 17. The event offered at no charge thanks to our sponsors.
Our border crossing was in Busia, where we arrived in the afternoon, after a brief stop in Nakuru and a quick lunch in Kisumu. We crossed the African Rift Valley and saw an arm of Lake Victoria in Kisumu. In Busia, we had to hand over our travel documents to both Kenyan and Ugandan authorities, and I had to pay 50 USD for a tourist visa.
