Church in High Key

This is one of the churches in downtown Abilene, Texas.  I don't know the denomination but I think it's a cool structure.

Abandoned Home in Abilene

These abandoned structures make my heart so sad. I always wish I could get into these places, but they're always locked tight.

Once Upon a Church

An abandoned/vacant church on the outskirts of Abilene, Texas.  

No indication about what denomination it once housed.

This Remodel is Taking a Loooooong Time

The house in the lot next to the church I photographed in the previous post seems to be under some construction.   I noticed this skeleton resting on the bench on the porch.

I couldn't resist getting a shot.

Locked Door

These are doors to an abandoned church in the outskirts of downtown Abilene, Texas.  There's no sign indicating what kind of a church it was, but the windows are boarded and there is this lock and chain on the entrance doors.

Plant Decor

Along one of the streets in downtown Abilene, there's a business that has two of these decorative plants flanking their front door.  I know there's a name for this type of plant, I just can'd think of it right now, but they sure are pretty and they add a welcoming touch to the business.

WELCOME

I've seen this sign many times before, but decided to photograph it today.  

I think the place is out of business, but not sure.  I love that the management is determining the dress code. It was probably a nice place to spend some time with friends.

Fine Art

Before getting my coffee at the coffee shop, I was walking around looking for photo ops.  This is the sign for an art gallery and I've seen it so many times before, but never thought of getting an image of it.

It was an overcast sky, so it's just plain white.  I bet it would be even prettier if the sky were blue.

Maybe I'll try another time.

Ooops

I was out and about this morning running errands and decided to stop at my fave coffee shop for an iced coffee.

It appears that the window has a break in it and the owner put a band-aid on it.  How cute is this?

I couldn't resist getting a shot of this happy band-aid

Dandelion Summer

It's pretty hot here now, so I'm staying close to home and doing a lot of reading, which I absolutely love to do anyway.

I discovered this author a couple of months ago and have read several of her books. I got this copy from the library, but then I had to order one for myself from a used book site.

This is the book I'm picking for my next bookgroup turn. 

So many topics for a good discussion.

Baby Blanket

I just finished this crocheted baby blanket for my dil who is due with her second baby at the beginning of November.  The darker color is jade even thought it doesn't look like it in this image.

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.

Oil Well

This oil well is seen in an open field in a small town in Texas.

Abandoned Motel in Stamford, TX

This building was once a fancy motel in Stamford, Texas, now gone to rack n ruin.  It must have been quite the accommodation once upon a time.
