The Garden
This is the most waterlilies I’ve ever seen.
This really is a nice place to visit – the lilies are lovely, there are lots of dragonflies to look at, and the water flowing through the gardens makes a nice sound that masks all the other sounds. If I lived in San Angelo, I’d go there a lot.

Discs (floating)
I am not at all certain how a small city in Texas ended up with the International Waterlily Garden, but they did.
These giant lily pads reminded me of (1) those “silver dollar” pancakes we used to get; (2) sand dollars; and (3) a trip I made to Longworth Gardens in Pennsylvania when I was a senior in high school, because that’s the first place I ever saw lily pads that were this big. (Inside my head: a confusing place.)

It didn’t look that lucky
Some sort of a gameroom, holding down a corner. Evidently, they no longer provide a sweepstakes, as that’s been (sort of) edited out.
Actually, they no longer provide anything: it’s out of business. A man from the house next door came over to see if I was interested in purchasing the building. He looked very confused when I said that I just wanted to photograph the place. I get that a lot.

Clouds and branches fight it out
Winter-dead ivy branches seemed to be clawing at the sky. Maybe they’d already scraped the clouds into those little pieces?

What light there was
I explored the art center early in the morning, before anyone (except for a very friendly ginger cat) was out. The chrome chair legs seemed to soak up what light there was.
Or maybe I just didn’t get the exposure quite where it needed to be…
