13
My granddaughter, the fabulous Miss Hannah Harvey, turns 13 years old today. Yay!
A few weeks ago, she and I took ourselves on a Big Adventure, which included a stop at a coffee shop; a drive to Abernathy, Texas, to make some photos*; and a picnic lunch of fried rice. It was an excellent day. Among the many interesting things we spotted in Abernathy was this row of theater seats on a sidewalk. Hannah spotted the 13 right away, of course. (And don’t tell her, but part of her birthday present is a print of this photo.)

*Yes! She’s a photographer and even has a “real” camera, a starter-level Nikon.
Shadow Line
There is a surprising amount going on here, from the four circles to the one a/c unit to the stone trim to the boarded and bricked windows to the rhythm of the tiny arches.
But the best part was the shadows slanting away from their source.

I can’t stop the rain
Me, looking at map and at clouds: We’ll need to stop in Moran. I can find something there to put in the foreground.

If you need a sofa
Maybe, after all these stay-at-home months, you’ve gotten weary of your place. And maybe you’re thinking a change in furnishings might be just what you need to lift your spirits. And maybe you’re thinking specifically of acquiring a different sofa.
If this sounds like you, please get in touch: I know where you can find one.

A pair of shoes and a flyswatter
If conditions permit, I will always peer inside an out-of-business business: I have a strange fascination with seeing what things were not important enough to have been taken. The best things I spotted here were the flyswatter hanging on the wall, and a pair of Crocs.
But that wall just behind the Crocs has a story, too. Someone had really good intentions – they framed it and installed the gyp board, but somehow the taping/floating/painting steps never happened.
