Snout
Well, who wouldn’t notice what the sun was up to on these concrete grain elevators and pull off the main street to get a photo?
I would absolutely do it! This is a shot from 2013 of the other side of these very same elevators.
I’m in a rut, but at least it’s six years wide.

Window/Shadow
If it’s a a long weekend, it’s a pretty sure bet that I am ready to go somewhere. The Patient Spouse is not so much a fan of this habit, so we carefully negotiated a short trip over Memorial Day weekend. We went first to Clovis, New Mexico.
It had been raining all week in Lubbock – and in fact the day we left, there was a heavy rain and streets near our neighborhood were flooded. The clouds were starting to get to me, more than I had realized, because as soon as we got past them and were in sun, my mood lifted.
So, in honor of feeling better in the sunlight, here’s a lovely shadow of an open window on a metal wall.

A line of trees beside Coleto Creek does a good job of obscuring whatever’s behind them.

Jacal and Oak
This giant oak tree was probably already around during the Texas Revolution. That jacal came later. I think.

When you need a shelter
This place has a sort of timeless appeal, doesn’t it?
