an accidental diptych
I meant for this to be just an image of that statue, who looked like she was holding that light over her head (and, also, possibly, holding up the entire ceiling).
But, as the Photography Gods sometimes dictate, that actual thing that needed to be photographed was the way reflection of the other side of the street turned this into a diptych. As a bonus, the way the warm and cool lights play off each other is fun to look at.

the dance of the landscape
I like it when the wind whips around the native grasses, so I poked my camera right down in the midst of these grasses and took a few shots. You know, because that’s the way I am.

if the heavens ever did speak
The National Ranching Heritage Center is only about 15 minutes from my house, but I almost never think about going there.
I went the other day because Belgian photographer Harry van Voorden was visiting Texas Tech and led a community photo walk; I often lament the lack of such events, so of course I joined up for the afternoon. Although the collection of ranch buildings is very interesting, I decided to specifically look at smaller details. I did a similar scale of looking/photographing in December at White Sands National Park, and it helps my brain calm itself the hell down if I am looking for the smaller details of things. (That’s a good realization, and it’s taken me a very long time to figure it out.)
Anyway, here’s a detail I found inside the Trinity Mission, a frontier church that was originally located in Spur, Texas, where it served as an Episcopal church.

a specific danger
And while the whole building may look dangerous, I guess it’s just that one corner of the garage door that we need to worry about. (Which is very helpful information, right?)

aren’t all gifts “to go”?
Maybe you were here a few days ago when I talked about how much fun I have with language…
Technically, aren’t ALL gifts “to go”? (As an example of the things that crack me up a little bit more than they should.)
