White on white, 13
No matter how quaint Indian Lodge, somewhere, there’s got to be the mechanical stuff that keeps the place running. While it may not be as lovely as the adobe walls from yesterday, I think there’s still a certain charm here.

Boots, buildings, and why one reminded me of the other
I realize that maybe my mind operates in a slightly more random way than might be considered normal.
That’s why this building reminded me of ostrich skin boots.

by the gifts of the citizens
About five or six times a year, I head over to Crosbyton, Texas, for a meeting. About four or five times a year, I somehow overlook grabbing my camera before I leave. This time, though, not only did I have my camera, but I got to town a little early and had time to circle the block to get this shot.
I’d say it’s been a while since the citizens of Crosbyton donated “gifts” that resulted in this mural.
It’s also been a while since there was passenger train service in Crosbyton, so the depot depicted here (I guess) represents the artist’s nostalgia over bygone days when one could catch a train to…somewhere. The Texas Historical Society has this to say about trains, “On April 10, 1911, the first train left on the Crosbyton-South Plains Railroad.” No word on where it was going, if it ever came back, if there were any subsequent departures.

Keep out
Two things here:
– The KEEP OUT painted on the wall, because the state of the yard made the sign unnecessary.
– The way the leaves of the plant make that lovely radial pattern which is such a nice counterpoint to the hard rectangles of the window openings.
Of course I had to stop.

PS – For those of you keeping score, this is the 13th post taken on August 16. Yes – a good day.
