women’s building
I went to the fair – it’s a family tradition.
And because Lubbock is still more or less mired in 1958 or something, there’s a building called The Women’s Building. It’s where all the gals get to show their baking, canning, pickling, cake-decorating, quilting, embroidering, knitting, crocheting, and other skills of a feminine nature. At the end of fair week, the cakes have sort of melted into themselves, which is my favorite part.
Here’s a shot that doesn’t include of the gal-type stuff. Unless you count the broom.
Anyway, I dare you to try to explain to my very outspoken sixth grade granddaughter why the building has such a gender-specific name. I’ll tell you right now she won’t be putting up with your bullshit explanation.

sea/glass
I started the run of photos from my trip with a sunset, so I guess it makes sense to end with a sunrise…
The way those waves were backlit by the rising sun fascinated me: it reminds me of molten glass. And you can go ahead and relax because I will only post this one image (of the 100 or so that I made of the exact same thing).

ivy league (sort of)
The cemetery chapel was covered with ivy that was just starting to think about putting on its fall reds, which would have been a beautiful display. But, really, I didn’t hate the way it looked when I saw it, and especially liked the way the wavy gold glass was peeking through the leaves.

still water
My friends and I went down to the water to see if the sunset was going to be worth photographing. (It was, as you may have already seen in a previous post.) While we waited for the sky to go out in a glorious flame of orange, we wandered around taking photos. You know, the way you do.

shower/stall
It was off season, so the door to the marina’s outdoor shower was nailed shut. For photographic purposes, all that meant was that I just stuck my camera over the top and made a few pictures. You know, the way I do.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I only do stuff like this if I am at least 100% certain that shower (or whatever I’m photographing) is unoccupied. It would be too weird otherwise. And also, probably illegal.
