Desert Wetland
Even though the wading pool was dry, there was still water at the park.
Water in the desert is always a nice surprise.

And promises of rain
Way over there, to the southeast, are some clouds that look like they might bring some rain. They don’t, of course.

One Tree
Who says we don’t have trees out here? Sure, there’s just the one. And it’s dead. But still.

Flyer Club
One of the surprising things around Lubbock, given its reputation as a place without discernible topography, is the canyon that’s to the east of town. (Here’s more information, and that photo titled Yellowhouse Canyon near Slaton, Texas is exactly the view we’ll have from our future house.)
But I digress.
This is the entrance to a now-defunct radio-controled airplane club. At least, that’s what I’ve heard, fourth or fifth hand. But even if that’s not accurate information (the part about the RC planes, I mean, as I am pretty sure whatever was there isn’t in operation any longer) I like how the sign hangs there in the trees and the little caliche road wanders over the hill.

Pivot Point
The elevation at Clines Corners, New Mexico, is a little more than 7,000 feet, which is pretty high for a place that’s not even in the mountains. But on the broad plain north of town, it feels like you can touch the sky.
And on the day I was there, it seemed like the clouds were using that distant power pole as their pivot point.
