fancy lighting

That’s a fancy light fixture they’ve got inside there. I wonder why.

gauzy

Maybe you already figured this out. (I bet you did. It’s really sort of obvious.) I enjoy photographing reflections in windows. And if the windows in question are in a small-town downtown, then I like it even more.

The thing about this is that not that many days ago (3 as of when I wrote this post) I stood RIGHT THERE and composed the photo, yet today I can’t tell you what side of the square I was on, what building had these gauzy curtains, or even what’s real and what’s reflected. The whole thing has my brain a little bit discombobulated.

But honestly, it’s that feeling of not knowing exactly what’s going on that attracts me to making these kinds of images.

I went to Slaton to get cookies at the 100-year-old Slaton Bakery. (You cannot find better thumbprint cookies anywhere on the planet.) And, while I was there I took a few photos.

Or I went to Slaton to take photos. And while I was there I treated myself to some cookies at the bakery.

Either way, it worked out nicely.

Thank you, sign, for stating the obvious.

like a fish out of water

This part of Texas is not what anyone would call lake-infested. And the lakes that we do have are usually less than full. Which I guess explains this fairly common sight: an non-workable boat parked next to a building.
