richard, in the sky
Some people see bunnies or faces or dragons or castles when they look at the clouds.
I am not one of them. I mostly saw a formation that I named “Richard” – if you seen what I mean.

rocking/horse
Barrel race practice = photo opportunities = practice with panning = lots of failures = some technically weak photos that still are compelling. (This one reminds me of a kid’s rocking horse.)

too big to survive
I know for sure that this was the longest car on the whole block and feel confident that it was also the longest car in the entire town.
I tried to imagine parking a car this long…do you think there were smaller cars that operated like tugboats to nudge it into place?
Also, my shooting partner and I were surveilled while we were there – the business owner and his wife drove over* to see what we were up to after his camera alerted him that there was someone walking around. He was sort of belligerent at first but we were charming. According to us. Also we were on the public right of way so we sort of had that on our side and they decided to let us stay.

*They wheeled up so fast it was like something was on fire.
product/placement
I drive by this mashup of informational signage on a fairly regular basis, and finally stopped to get the photo that was in my head all along.
You’re welcome.

water/snake
You really should have seen me taking this photo. I was leaning over a low concrete wall and holding my camera as close as I could get it to this water. I am sure that the townspeople appreciated the view and so I think I need to apologize for that particular thing.
However, I also want to thank the fine folks of Petersburg, Texas, for providing such an interesting photographic subject. It was quite an ten minutes of shooting.
