A slow creeping

The kitchen windowsill from the same house in yesterday’s post. That’s quite a healthy collection of cobwebs, isn’t it? And how about that thick coating of dust on everything?

(By the time you see this post, this place will have been demolished: someone’s home is becoming a parking lot.)

Flyer Club

One of the surprising things around Lubbock, given its reputation as a place without discernible topography, is the canyon that’s to the east of town. (Here’s more information, and that photo titled Yellowhouse Canyon near Slaton, Texas is exactly the view we’ll have from our future house.)

But I digress.

This is the entrance to a now-defunct radio-controled airplane club. At least, that’s what I’ve heard, fourth or fifth hand. But even if that’s not accurate information (the part about the RC planes, I mean, as I am pretty sure whatever was there isn’t in operation any longer) I like how the sign hangs there in the trees and the little caliche road wanders over the hill.

The warm-up (with ball boy)

A few weeks ago, we had front-row seats to the Texas Tech softball game, and got there early enough to watch the players, and a very small bat boy, warm up.

A cemetery on the plains

052216-2

I go by this little cemetery several times a year. I never stop – it’s too muddy, or too windy, or I’m running late, or I don’t have the right camera, or lots of other reasons.

But then, the other day, I did stop.
