nothing to it

A pink oblong box, with a name printed on the lid:  Dora’s Smart Shop—Dallas.  A shoe box.  A shoe box is full of photographs.  There is something autumnal about loose photos, isn’t there?  The small ones.  Snaps.  Old ones.  A box full of leaves.  Black and white.  Some are miniatures, with ragged borders.
