Memorial Day

It was so cold that it was hard to imagine that Memorial Day, all the way at the end of May, was even a thing that would ever happen.

still surviving on the street

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.

Bough, frozen

Look at me, pretending I understand color photography!

Summer’s Sad Soldiers

Farmers around here grew a lot of sunflowers this year. And toward the end of the season, there were a lot of people standing the edges of the fields to get photos. I didn’t stop then, when the flowers were bright and full. But the day of the ice storm? Yes, that was the day I went out to see the sunflowers. The thick coat of ice made everything look blurry and out of focus, an effect I hadn’t quite anticipated but that I rather liked.

Playground on a dripping day

It’s been a hot summer here in Texas, so to make myself feel cooler, I’m posting this picture that I made on a cold, damp day last December. I found this antiquated playground in a tiny town way up in the top of the Texas Pandhandle.
