Empty Saddle (Club)

I sure hate to see this place go. I’ve had a few beers there in my time.

The Time-out Chair

I found this at the back door to the Brewster County Courthouse; I assume it is where the unruly employee(s) have to sit when they get put in time out. It’s in the shade, and the trees are pretty and the air’s fresh, so it’s probably a nice place to sit. Even if you are in trouble.

Inhospitable

It’s a harsh world, out there in the desert…

Feet in the air

Yesterday’s food truck chairs have propped their feet up and are waiting for today’s lunch patrons to arrive.

Football was on her mind

Multitasking was the deal that night. I stopped at the bar at the Holland Hotel, where I was able to get a window table. While I enjoyed a drink and dinner, I made a series of images of pedestrians. Yes! Three things at once.

But, as you could have predicted, doing all that stuff at once is a guarantee that at least one of them is probably not going to be all that successful. And this is the only pedestrian photo I liked. But I like it at a lot because of the way the TV’s reflection landed on the woman’s head.
