You know that I don’t take photos of people. Unless they are my granddaughters.

Or, unless I notice an intrepid young explorer, heading out on a big adventure.

Repetitions

The day was partly cloudy and the first shot I made was without sunshine. Almost instantly, though, the clouds moved, giving me time to make a shot with shadows that repeat themselves all the way down to the river.

How to Leave

I love some nice signage.

This is straightforward, and graceful with the way the bold strokes of the letters are enhanced by the narrow lines behind them. And also – the meaning is clear, and nothing is misspelled.

The early sun slices across the letters of the old dime store.

Of course, Kress stores have been gone for a while; this is now a restaurant. I’m glad they kept the letters.

Preparations at the Alamo

Until I spent a few days at the Menger Hotel, with a room that faced the plaza in front of the Alamo, I really didn’t have any idea how many events take place there. There were several every day; set-up started early to accommodate the back-to-back scheduling.
