Café, with sky
My British photographer pal Andy Hooker had posted several photos of this place before our trip; on our very first morning in England, we were able to meet him and his lovely wife, and see this little beach-side cafe. It was an excellent start to our trip. And it also illustrates what a small world we photographers roam around in.
And, because it’s been a while since I posted a Bruce Cockburn song, here’s a live version of one called Café Society. Fun fact: I was in the audience of this show.

Hotel visitor contemplates her day
This town was my parents’ favorite in all of England. They talked about it a lot. The Patient Spouse and I took my dad on a last trip to England after my mom died, and of course he planned a trip around this town. And then, when the Patient Spouse and I took Miss Hannah Harvey on a trip to England, we wanted to go back and see it again.
All that aside, what do you suppose that woman in the window is thinking about. Maybe it’s “why do SO MANY Texans think they need to keep coming here?”

Bonus Post – Lubbock Artist Studio Tour
Those of you who live in Lubbock may have already stopped by my place as part of the local arts alliance’s local Studio Tour event – I’ve been one of the host studios since 2015. The rest of you? Sorry.
This year, though, the event has gone virtual, which will give all of you a chance to drop by! On Saturday and Sunday (November 14 and 15) this link will be active and you’ll be able to see information on all 19 participating artists. You’ll be able to see what my studio/workspace looks like, read my artist statement and bio, and have contact information in case you want to make a purchase.
All of us who are participating in this first-ever virtual Studio Tour would appreciate a few minutes of your time. And, of course, art does make lovely gifts….
Garden Gate Gentleman
For reasons that I am not sure I fully understand, I haven’t been out shooting much lately. As a result, you are about to be treated to a dive into the archives.
This gentleman totally knew I’d taken his picture, didn’t he?

Spike
One thing – OK, maybe it is the main thing – that I like about the desert is the way everything’s spiky. It’s like it doesn’t really care if you visit or not, but if you do, it’ll be on the desert’s terms and not yours. No soft grass to lie in or any of that sort of thing. I mean, even the fence sections are pointed…
