Shadow Shapes
We made two visits to The Pearl; one was on Saturday during the farmers market, when there was a lot going on. (Translation: too many people for me to make any images.) So then we went back on a late-afternoon Sunday, and I got to see this uncluttered-by-people view of shadows wrapping themselves around the building.

Trees Beyond
Across the broad lawn, a loudspeaker carried the sounds of Mass (in Spanish) almost as if the ghosts of the Spanish founders of the mission were still trying to convert the locals.
And I found a quiet scene unfolding beyond the ruins of a never-completed mission building.

Closed for the holiday
It was a holiday – Labor Day – but the Holiday Bowl didn’t seem to be available for celebrations. In fact, it looked as if it might have been unavailable for several holiday celebrations.

Lunch
We’d come prepared for a picnic lunch on our way back home from San Antonio, thanks to a conveniently-located grocery store. Since it was on Labor Day, we thought the city park would be crowded. But it wasn’t; perhaps the heat (almost 100 degrees) and the humidity (almost 100 percent*) kept rational people inside.
But that gave us our choice of picnic table.

*By “100 percent” I probably mean “somewhere around 40 percent.” I am completely unreliable.
Risk Avoidance
This is one of those times when I can’t add anything more to what’s already there.
