In-line

This was a remarkably well-ordered picnic site, with two tables, a grille, and a trash barrel all lined up more or less on that little island. I am pretty sure the barrel on the right is making sure they stay in formation.

2 barrels and a sidewalk

Just because I felt like it*, I rented a camera for a week, and to feel like I was getting my money’s worth, I took it everywhere. I used to do that with my regular camera, but got out of the habit.
I went to the park (which you saw here and which you’ll see again tomorrow). There were lots of things to see, because I was looking on purpose for things to shoot. I used to that a lot, too, but got out of the habit.
So an unexpected consequence of the rented camera was a reminder that I’d gotten lazy, and was missing a lot of subjects as a result. That made a week’s rental an especially good bargain.

*or, to translate into Texan, I had a hankering.
Netted

A park, a volleyball net, and (in the distance) a hospital complex – all spotted during a post-lunch photography stroll.

Imprisoned

Of course I thought of Ashley over at Syncopated Eyeball when I saw these chairs. (Go look around at her blog if you want to know why.)
But anyway, I can’t decide if downtown Lubbock is safer now, with those chairs all locked up, or if more sinister forces – specifically the standing desk contingent – are behind this.

Sad Hannah and her dog

Hannah had just gotten some sad news, but Lola was there to help her feel better.
