Pre-game huddle

My church has a softball team that seems to play about once a week.  I finally had the chance to attend one of the games with my camera.  This was the pre-game huddle.  The church team wears the purple shirts.

Hitting the Ball

The final game of the summer baseball tournament and one of the Abilene players is hitting the ball.  Abilene won the game 9-0.

It was hot and there was no shade but it was still a kick to photograph something different.

Pitcher

Abilene offers summer league baseball teams for the high school players.  After all the years of being here, I finally got a chance to go to one of the games with a friend of mine whose grandson was playing today.

Church and Blue Sky

This apparently abandoned church is sitting in a field at the edge of a well-used cemetery in

Tuxedo, TX.  

The structure seems to be in not-bad shape.  There are pew benches in the sanctuary area inside facing toward the back with a view into the cemetery and a podium facing the pews.  

Once upon a time it must have been a sweet local house of worship.  

Too bad it hasn't been reclaimed.

Oil Drill

It's not easy to get close enough to an oil drill to get a good photo~~I don't have a long enough lens, but this one was pretty close to the fence and I was thrilled to get this close.

A Barn

I saw this colorful red and green barn as I was driving around today.

Country Home

The weather was pretty nice today and I was tired of just sitting in the house, so I finally forced myself to go out for a ride, hoping against hope that I'd see something to photograph.

I thought this was such a pretty scene.  I always wonder what people do to earn enough money to live in homes like these????
