Cheetah at the Zoo

Even though the holidays are over and all the decorations have been taken down at the local zoo, I decided to go there because the weather was so beautiful and I thought the animals might be a little more active because of the coolers temps.  

This Cheetah was walking around its enclosure and then it finally settled high up on the rock formation.  I was able to get an image that pretty much blurred out the bars.
Just gorgeous!

Circles of Wood

While walking downtown the other day I came across a pick-up truck with these cut pieces of tree trunk.  The perfect shot for the photo-prompt of "circles". 
I found some other "circle" photos, but they aren't half as interesting as this one.

Businessman on Overpass

It was another beautiful day~~up to 55 degrees.  I went to the Y again this morning and was exhausted when I got home.  I thought I'd just hang out in the house, but after resting I decided I needed to get out and enjoy the weather.
I went to town, yet again.  As I walked past this overpass that goes from one office building to another across a street, I saw this man walking and quickly composed to get this image.  
Not the best image, but I like it.

All Grey

I saw this electrical box on one of the walls in an alleyway downtown and just thought it looked pretty interesting.
I love the monotone color.

Off Road Cabin

On the way to Rule, Texas we saw this very, very abandoned cabin just off the main road.  There's probably not anything redeemable about this structure but it sure makes for a great photo.  We walked all around the cabin and there wasn't a bad perspective to be seen considering how decrepit the structure is.

Textured Glass Entrance

While walking around Stamford, Texas we came upon this empty building.  I love these textured panes of glass and this little alcove appears to have been an entrance into the building once upon a time.  There's a huge piece of metal covering over what was a doorway.
Without knowing any history, structures like this are such a puzzle.
What was the building, why is it empty/closed/abandoned, who maintains the building in such good condition, who pays the taxes on an empty structure?  So many questions, no answers.

Abandoned School Bldg?

This old abandoned building is in Stamford, Texas.  It looks like it was originally a school bldg, but there was no sign or information to say what it had been.  
The interior was totally trashed and as you can see some of the windows were completely gone.  
Just take several steps back in your mind to imagine what a beautiful building this once was.

Snow

Today we had snow in west Texas.  It was in the forecast, but that's always iffy.
I woke up this morning to rain and then snow.
I usually only post one photo a day, but I couldn't help myself today.  I took the top photo of the snow and then about an hour later I looked out at the parking lot and saw this snowman in the yard across the way.  Sadly I didn't see who made it.  
It's just cute.
Today is Thursday and by Saturday it's going to be back into the mid 50s.  I can deal with that.
