Snow/Tree
And here’s another snow photo…usually it’s a dust storm that blurs the view, so having something white doing the blurring took some getting used to.

Snow/Man
Much against my better judgement, I ventured out in the snow that we had last month here in Texas. (I don’t mind snow IN THEORY. I do mind being cold.)
But look what happened! I got a shot I would never have bothered with on a day where it wasn’t snowing. But it may have created a bit of a monster: I have days and days of snow pictures queued up here on the blog. You have been warned.

the other side of progress
Out on the edge of town, buildings are vanishing at a surprising pace: they are in the way of a new road, an outer loop around town.

Going up against chaos
My regular reader(s) already knows that I often photograph restrooms, and that reader is nice enough to not laugh to my face about that.
But this is a reason why I have that weird little habit: that turned-over trash can was just ASKING to be photographed, if you ask me.
Another one of my weird photographic habits, which my brain tends to do all on its own without any assistance from me, is to place song lyrics in my head when I see scenes like this. Usually they are Bruce Cockburn lyrics and usually they don’t seem to have a very strong connection to the actual scene. Today’s lyrics, suggested by Melinda’s Brain, come from a song called “Going up Against Chaos.” And if you listen to the lyrics and can figure out a connection to this photo, please let me know: I’ll be damned if I can tell what it is.

Different Years: a diptych
If you’ve been following along the last couple of days, you know that my collaborator suggested randomly pairing images from the same date but different years just to see what sort of diptych might emerge.
And here’s what I got when I selected One Day | One Image posts from October 17 in 2020 and 2013.
Oddly enough, this pairing works, I think – the peaks of the roof of the church building are echoed in the dancers’ arms.
