turn to the setting sun
Maybe this is a new building in the NRHC’s collection. Or maybe it’s been there and I never noticed it. But I climbed up the berm to get this shot. Remind me to go back later, after the trees have leafed out, to get another version of it.

the dance of the landscape
I like it when the wind whips around the native grasses, so I poked my camera right down in the midst of these grasses and took a few shots. You know, because that’s the way I am.

if the heavens ever did speak
The National Ranching Heritage Center is only about 15 minutes from my house, but I almost never think about going there.
I went the other day because Belgian photographer Harry van Voorden was visiting Texas Tech and led a community photo walk; I often lament the lack of such events, so of course I joined up for the afternoon. Although the collection of ranch buildings is very interesting, I decided to specifically look at smaller details. I did a similar scale of looking/photographing in December at White Sands National Park, and it helps my brain calm itself the hell down if I am looking for the smaller details of things. (That’s a good realization, and it’s taken me a very long time to figure it out.)
Anyway, here’s a detail I found inside the Trinity Mission, a frontier church that was originally located in Spur, Texas, where it served as an Episcopal church.

a specific danger
And while the whole building may look dangerous, I guess it’s just that one corner of the garage door that we need to worry about. (Which is very helpful information, right?)

aren’t all gifts “to go”?
Maybe you were here a few days ago when I talked about how much fun I have with language…
Technically, aren’t ALL gifts “to go”? (As an example of the things that crack me up a little bit more than they should.)
