Fleur-de-lis
The fleur-de-lis has a long history that spans religious, political, artistic, and other symbols. Of course, it’s also used as a decorative element in headboards, as seen here.
I think the fleur-de-lis designs really class up this scene, in a roofless building in a tiny Texas town. And not only that, they seem to be providing some sort of building-security function at the same time. Way to go, fleurs!
(Also: WordPress is pretty sure I meant to type “flour-de-lis,” which just shows what they know.)

A man, a dog, and a bike
A man, a dog, and a bike survey the scene. Well, mostly the man and the dog are surveying the scene. The bike doesn’t seem to care.

Just try to escape
From this angle, it looks like everything is leaning out of the frame, as if to get the hell away from the place.
Except the walker, which has stumbled and is down for the count.

A Marked Entrance
My guess is that this a neighborhood bar. The building doesn’t have signage other than two neon beer signs (Coors, of course, because it’s in Colorado; and Budweiser), but it has the look of a place that gets a lot of business. For example, the way the door is worn and dirty in a semi-circle around the doorknob, from patrons shouldering their way to grab a cold one, and from the smattering of cigarette butts that didn’t quite make it into the ashtray.

Why and When to Visit Lubbock
I know that you’ve probably been wondering when would be a good time to plan a weekend trip to Lubbock, and I have the answer:
You need to come November 14 and 15, so you can take part in the Lubbock Art’s Alliance Studio Tour event! There will be nine studios, and 48 artists, showing their work. It’s a great opportunity to see art and talk to the people who make it. It’s also a great way to support local artists: all work will be for sale!
My studio – which is a fancy way to say “the back bedroom” – is one of the host studios. I’d love to see you!
