The cattle industry was past its prime
A detail of the fence around the cattle pen from yesterday. It’s starting to show the signs of many years in the dry Texas heat, but I bet it’ll outlast most of us…

Stock Tank and the Cathedral Mountains
I’m not tall enough to get the shot I wanted, so I made this one by holding the camera as high above my head as I could reach and shooting it blind.
Just over to my left, a very large steer stood in the shade, watching the procedures. And off in the distance, the Cathedral Mountains.
It’s hard to think of anyplace I rather be than right here.

Swimming Hole
I’ve been trying for a while to get the photo of this wading pool that I can see in my mind. This one wasn’t it. And neither was this one.
This one, though? It’s closer, but still not quite what I was after.
But it’s OK, as it gives me a completely plausible reason to return to this little remote oasis.
