Downspout
Across town, in a new commercial development, I found a nice set of rectangles.
Have I mentioned lately that I am indeed fond of a good rectangle?

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.
Two of these things are not like the others
I’ve been through Sweetwater a few hundred times. I’ve gone downtown maybe five times.
And, one time I actually got out and walked around. That’s when I saw these bars across an opening left over when a business went away.
It was worth the (short) investment of my time.

I miss you like I miss the flowers in bloom
Today’s the last day of my self-assigned lyrics-as-titles experiment. Thanks for your patience!
The way the openings in this old place lined up was what caught my eye. It made me sad, the way the roof’s gone, the weeds are taking over, the plaster’s peeling away: it was a lonely scene.
So, here’s a lonely song.
