Half Dead
Most days I take the back way to work, which means about a 20-mile drive on a two-lane farm road. I look at this tree every day, and have been a little sad this summer to see that most of the tree’s branches are dead.
The other morning, I pulled the car out of the garage, noticed interesting clouds in the west (the way I’d shortly be heading), and went back inside for the camera. And this is what I saw when I got to the tree.

Wheel Stop Ballet
Maybe someone in Lubbock remembers how long the Grandy’s restaurant has been closed, but until I get a firm date, I’ll just say that is’s been closed nearly forever. A new place is (finally!) getting ready to move in there, so I took advantage of its still-abandoned look and made a few images.
Who knows how these wheel stops got all out of line. Perhaps those weeds are stronger than they look?
