Curled Dirt and Hydrant
You can tell by looking at the cracked and curled dirt in the gutter that it’s been a while since any significant rain has fallen on O’Donnell. And apparently that hydrant doesn’t even care.
(Also, it was a toasty 112° that day. And windy. So it was rather like being inside a convection oven.)

Fenced In (or out)
I guess it would be accurate to describe the land out here as being “as flat as the top of a gate.” Or at least as flat as the top of THIS gate…

Life as an open book
I guess it felt a little bit like I was standing at a pulpit, about to deliver a sermon. Sure, the potential listeners were all dead, but I didn’t have that much of importance to say, so it didn’t really matter.

This was one of the more spectacular trees I have ever photographed. And the next strong storm will probably topple it over.

Two Cemetery Cisterns
These two crumbly concrete cisterns were the most fascinating part of this little country cemetery – I’d say one third of the photos I made here featured them. Obviously, since I was shooting late in the afternoon, I need to get back over there early in the morning, and when there’s a storm, and maybe even on a cold, clear night to get some stars. I guess my quest for a new obsession has ended….good thing it’s only a 30 minute drive from home.
