as memory fades

Talk about a bleak message on a tombstone…but memories do fade, no matter how much you think they won’t.

late afternoon traffic

Last year when I came back from Scotland, I wasn’t really doing very well – physically and mentally – while I was there, and during post-trip editing I felt a little bit like the quantity and quality of my images didn’t quite justify the trip.

But it’s a new year. I feel better. I’ve learned….well, I’ve learned a lot. And the photos from last year that I thought were too dumb to even look at suddenly seem a lot different.

That is ONE TALL COWBOY. And I’m pretty sure that, while he’s super polite and takes his hat off when he meets a lady and says “howdy” and all that, he also isn’t going to be too inclined to take any shit off of anyone.

yellow fish

Usually Santa Rosa is a drive through place, on my way elsewhere. Rarely, I’ll stop for the night, like I did last month.

And because it was a beautiful evening, with a hint of cool in the air, I spent a long time outside making photos of things like a concrete pier at the local town lake. Those yellow fish sort of drew me in to the scene…

even numbers

Naturally, with it being Texas and all, the motel had horse stalls for rent. And, also naturally, I went over to check it out.

There wasn’t a single horse, but wow! That light was stunning.
