San Patricio Storms
Sometimes when I make a photo I can almost talk myself into believing that no other photographer would have spotted The Thing I Just Photographed. And other times, I believe that Any Reasonable Person With a Camera would have made the exact image I just got.
This, obviously, falls into the Any Reasonable Person category. I mean, really – how could anyone look at that mountain, the sunlight on the white building, and those clouds and NOT produce exactly this image?
But I’m still glad I made it.

Yes, it IS the variety
I am pretty sure that sign on the mural is referring to the variety of beverages available at the bar.

Signs of the Times
Two years ago, signs like this wouldn’t have made the least bit of sense. One year ago, they would have been outside in the restaurant parking lot so people knew where to part for their to-go order to be brought out to them.
It’s nice to see them relegated to the restroom hallway this year. And think how nice it’ll be when they are gone completely.

Sky-Claw
The desert has a certain scratchy quality that I rather like…as long as the scratchy stuff doesn’t, you know, scratch ME.

you can’t tell me there is no mystery
If you’ve been around this place for very long, you know that my mind sometimes connects (seemingly, usually, at random) my images with specific song lyrics. This time it was the line “you can’t tell me there is no mystery” from Bruce Cockburn.
This photo was made through a screened window on the back of the sad little trailer I’ve posted a couple of other photos of. Everything here is now and will forever be mysterious to me.
