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.

daughter of the clouds

Lately I’ve been missing shade trees, specifically the dappled light under them, the sound of the leaves in a breeze, the way it feels cooler under them, and how they feel like an invitation to sit a while. I don’t know where this longing is coming from: I’ve spent most of my life living where shade trees aren’t really a thing that happens unless you have to foresight to plant them yourself. But it’s definitely something on my mind.

But on the other hand, a bunch of trees would block these kinds of views.

100% probability

I think you know me well enough by now that there is a 100% chance that I will think hotel-room reflections are very enchanting. And also the same chance that I will make a photograph or ten of them.

i have questions

Couple of questions here:

  1. Why does that waterfowl need binoculars to look at the barricade that is RIGHT THERE?
  2. How TF is that same waterfowl holding the binoculars in the first damn place?

drug/violence

I do enjoy looking at the random things that people post on poles. There are a lot of stories represented by this stuff. Like this pair things I saw in the Old Port…in my mind there is a direct link between the two .

But at any rate, I want to think that punch was real and not staged for the photo. And, what’s in the bag on the sidewalk? And is that one guy’s fly unzipped? And why does the white design on the window make me think of powdered sugar decorations?
