Chair Jail
I am not sure what these chairs did, but it must have been pretty bad for them to be incarcerated. Look at them, pressed against the bars of the chair jail, in their prison uniforms, dreaming of life on the outside.
Or, maybe they are plotting an escape.
I didn’t stick around to see…..

West Texas, a sense of place
I am happy to announce that my photograph “Why Travel the Stars” has been accepted into “West Texas, a sense of place,” a show sponsored by the Texas Photographic Society and Odessa College. The show will have 36 images, from 24 photographers.
The show will open on November 4 at the Options Gallery at Odessa College, which is (this part is complicated) in Odessa, Texas. Stop by, if you’re in the area.

* I know, right? No one saw this coming.
Somewhere, apparently, there are watermelons
Somewhere, off to the right, it looks as though yellow meat watermelons are for sale.
I’m going to be honest: after I saw this sign, I made two u-turns to get back to this corner. I drove up one street and down another one and never did see any watermelons. I saw concrete pipe sections, and a grain elevator, and some metal stuff, but no watermelon. Which is sort of a shame: yellow watermelon’s my favorite.
Now that I think about it, maybe I assumed too much. That sign doesn’t actually say the melons are for sale. It just announces their presence somewhere, just letting us know that over there, to the right, someone’s got a melon or two in the refrigerator. Good to know.
But I’m glad I don’t have to post a sign announcing the contents of my refrigerator. Because it would have to say “Scary-looking leftovers”.
