I’ve mentioned before that sunsets are one of my favorite things to photograph. Sometimes, … Continue reading

I pass this windmill several times a week as I travel the country roads between my home and the city. It stands close to the road; so it catches my eye most trips. Last week, I posted Texas Skyline – a photo of this windmill glowing in the sun. This photo was taken on a gray, … Continue reading
I was driving through a small Texas town when I saw this restored Mercury convertible in a parking lot behind main street. This car was pointed away from the street and had a white sign hanging from the rear view mirror. (I had to drive through the parking lot to read the sign.) I don’t know the … Continue reading

As we drove over the top of the hill, I saw the electrical structure standing stark against the sky — just beyond the fence.

I came across this old 1950s Chevy pickup while driving down a country road. The kind of Texas country road where you see miles of dirt roads, fields of prairie grass, and a few cows.
