Spillway
The other Saturday morning, I headed out with the idea that I’d go to a Corvette show that I’d seen advertised. (One of my photography goals for the year is to push myself to photograph things I’d normally overlook, or flat-out ignore.) But it was a foggy morning, so before I went to see the Corvettes, I decided to visit the Dunbar Historical Lake Park. And while I was there, I walked out on the spillway to see what that looked like. And guess what? It looked a whole lot like this.

Silly String, the battle
At this point, everyone in our whole family has had a COVID-influenced birthday. It started with mine in March, went through two June and and one July birthday, and ended with a pair of January birthdays.
I have to say that we’ve made these crazy birthdays fun and unforgettable to the very best of our abilities. On this day, when my granddaughter Bennett turned seven, we ate pizza outside, sitting in circles that my son spray-painted on the grass. And then, after pizza, some (socially-distanced) fun with Silly String.
But we are lucky: we’ve been mostly healthy. We have friends and family. We all have the same jobs we had at the beginning*. We have Silly String. And we all fully realize that puts us in a category that not everyone gets to be in.

the fields lie fallow
Winter in my part of Texas isn’t very colorful, yet here I am, posting a color photograph. I am a woman of mystery.

Debris
This construction debris turned into a two-u-turn operation because it was too good to not stop and photograph all those things (to use the technical term) between the road and the farm.

Empty Volume
Prior to 2009, people in Lubbock had to drive outside the city limits to buy booze. There were some big liquor stores out there, but now they’ve all closed (or moved into town), since we can buy our booze right in town like normal people. Some of those places have turned into other businesses now, but this one is still available, if you’re interested.
