at the horse sale
Every day that I go in to my office, I pass by an events center. And every day I read the marquee announcements of coming events. A lot of them are mysterious to me – generally because they relate to agriculture or rodeo things that are outside of my normal set of things I do.
As part of a commitment to “do more stuff” this year, I decided to head over to the center the other Saturday to check out the Clovis Horse Sales. There was no entry fee, so there wasn’t an apparent down side, other than the extremely remote possibility that I might accidentally bid on a pony.
It turned out to be quite an entertaining few hours.
And I came home pony-less.

One of these days – probably it won’t take many of them – this old farm building is going to finish falling all the way down. That’s the way of farm buildings around here as farming practices and populations and the climate all shift.

Fringes of a band of rain moving through west of where I was.
Fringes of metal on the sides of an abandoned cotton gin.

another see-through house
My favorite thing when I photograph these abandoned farmhouses is when I can see all the way through them. I can’t explain that attraction, but I guess it isn’t any weirder than anything else I like to photograph…

flight/path
One thing about grain elevators is that they always have live-in pigeons.
I planned on getting a photo of a lot of them flying around this particular elevator, but I just got the one in flight. I guess I could have used AI to add in a big flock, but I actually didn’t think about that when I was editing this photo.
And wouldn’t have done it even if I had thought of it.
But I could have.
