Crepuscular
The clouds were particularly cooperative that night, giving me (among other gifts) these crepuscular rays in a cloud as it hovered above the Apostolic Gospel Church.

Building Up
It’s been a stormy spring – literally as well as in many other ways.

Storm Lion
Those clouds seemed nicely fluffy and white and photogenic when I stopped to get them posing behind a stone lion. Later that night, however, in a town 120 miles away, hailstones were so large they crashed through roofs AND ceilings and landed on the floor. And in another direction, about the same distance, a tornado caused damage in a small town. I don’t think the lion knew what was going to happen, but I guess you never know with stone lions, do you?

Shade-tree Mechanic
The place is more or less equipped to fix your car, right there between the vanishing sign and the road, and (if you get there in the morning), you can even wait in the shade.

Dermabrasion
It seemed like the door and the concrete block wall were getting facials, with all the dead stuff falling away.
In other news, this is the same town where in 1996 42 residents pooled their money and purchased 430 lottery tickets. And they won a $46 million jackpot. The money didn’t reverse the fortunes of the town, the way maybe you’d hope it would have. You might want to read this Texas Monthly article for the long, sad tale.
