steakhouse (in the rain)
I just want to say that if you find yourself in Muleshoe, Texas, and you need a meal, definitely head over to Old Fashioned BBQ and Grill. I am sure the food’s good whether or not it’s raining when you get there…

muses
I think normal people, if they woke up on a chilly Saturday and heard the rain, would have a probably rolled over and gotten some more sleep.
Photographers are not normal.
So I got up and went downtown to photograph rain falling on Lubbock’s downtown, which is pretty bleak to start with.

scattered showers
I took advantage of the rainy day to get out and make some photographs. And while I will almost always go out of my way to not photograph plastic caught in a fence, I found myself unable to resist this scene, and especially like how the camera caught the raindrops dancing around in the wind.

not a rain culture
A man wearing a red shirt and a silver bolo tie and carrying a small leather journal noticed me as he stepped carefully through the sidewalk puddles and said, “We don’t have a rain culture here.” And it was just that lack of a rain culture that made a rainy day enjoyable.

Hotel Scene: floodlights and rain
My side of the hotel faced the turnpike, which could account for those extremely bright floodlights, lighting the way for weary, moth-like travelers. On my last morning in Oklahoma, heavy rain on the windows diffused the light…but not very much.

PS: Today would have been my dad’s 98th birthday. He and my mom lived in Stroud, Oklahoma, where this photo was taken, for a short while in the mid-1950s. I almost never plan out my photos to be posted on any particular day, so it was a just a coincidence that this one landed on his birthday. (I think that sometimes the Photography Gods are doing some behind-the-scenes work.)
