Weed

I was just messing around the other morning, shooting some razor wire and vapors and tumbleweeds, when I saw these little weeds, illuminated by the thin winter sunlight.

myth disguised as fact

It seems like nearly every time a town in this part of Texas gets national media recognition, there will be a mention of tumbleweeds rolling down the streets at mid-day. (I presume a style manual somewhere mandates this tired reference.)

But, maybe it’s true? This tumbleweed was clearly in town when it got itself wedged between a fence and a utility pole.

My reader(s) who live in cold climates would probably not be as enchanted as I was by this angular ice that I found the other morning in a gutter. But on the other hand, that same reader might be amazed at tomorrow’s post.

This year has felt this way – what little bits of light we get quickly turn to vapors and are gone, and all the while dark clouds lurk.
