This was not the first time I’d stopped at this abandoned place in Santa Rosa, and I am relatively sure it wasn’t the last time, either. Santa Rosa is one of my favorite places to shoot, as it’s got a nice range of the subjects I like to capture. You know what I mean….

A coffee shop, located in an old house, has a lovely aesthetic, with nearly everything a nice crisp white. It sets of their delicious, locally-roasted coffee very well.

future wine

I know. I know it sounds ridiculous to say that the High Plains of Texas is, in fact, a wine-producing region. But it is true.

I attended an arts event at one of the local wineries and the condensation on the tanks caught my attention…

the morning yucca

I took some time the other Saturday morning to explore my own town; it paid off handsomely because not only did I discover an excellent coffee place, but there were some exuberant yucca flowers out in front.

And this reminds me that when I was a kid, I’d eat these flowers, which could surely explain some things.

mother + child

The ruins of the old church guard the small cemetery; I’ve stopped here three or four times previously and always find something interesting to look at, to contemplate, and/or to photograph. This time, a small plastic Madonna and her child, hanging from a nail by a gold cord, caught my attention.
