portland bolt

I first discovered this bridge in 2020: I saw a sign on the highway that said “Regency Bridge” which made me say to myself, “Sure. Why not?”

It’s a narrow suspension bridge with a wooden deck, spanning the Colorado River.

Now I pay it a visit any time I’m in the area. This time I was interested in the cables and the bolts and the other stuff that keeps the bridge, well, suspended.

uh, what?

I know. It IS shocking that the fur and rare skins ( ! ) store seems to have gone out of business.

nine lots for sale

It was really hot the day I was in Lampasas, but the local museum was not only open but nicely air-conditioned. After I spent some time inside looking around, I went back out and walked down an alley, because of course alleys often have things in them that need to be photographed.

And that’s how I found this.

Now, I’m not a marketing person, but it does seem like in a shed off an alley may not be the best location to advertise those nine lots….

a shadow of itself

Out at my place on the rim of a canyon*, it’s usually too windy to catch a photo like this – generally these thin stalks of grass are whipping around at blur-inducing rate.

But the there was this one day in December when it was sunny and warm and calm. So I made this image.

*I mean, it’s not the Grand Canyon, but nevertheless, it is still a canyon.

This isn’t exactly a botanical image. In fact, it’s not even truly close.

But still: it makes me think of a sunflower.
