Brick Wall Corner

On one of my photo trips, I saw this brick corner on one of the buildings and thought the colors looked interesting.

Palace Theater

Abandoned Palace Theater in small town Texas.  The marquee is still there, but the theater remains empty although ticket booth is still in front of the theater on the street as a reminder that once upon a time, it was an active venue.

Once Upon a Convenience Store

This sign was on a corner in front of an abandoned gas station and convenience store.
It must have been a fairly thriving business at one time.
Another sad and forgotten place in rural Texas.

These old license plates were laying on the floor of an abandoned structure.

Dainty Flowers

I was walking from my car in a parking lot to a convenience store and I saw these dainty flowers growing through a crack in the cement.  It always amazes me how tenacious nature can be, how growth can still happen in the weirdest and most difficult places.
I guess that can be a lesson for all of us.  We should continue to grow in the knowledge of our Lord and His Word, no matter how difficult things around us seem at the moment.

Golf Ball Graffiti

A friend of mine lives fairly close to one of the golf clubs in town.  One of the routes to get to her place is to drive by the club house of the golf course.  On my way home tonight, I saw this artwork on the side of the building and decided to make an image of it.  

It was a really busy day for me.  I left the house at 9 am and didn't return until 8 pm.
Cleaned an airbnb for several hours this morning and then helped another friend relocate their
travel trailer, but first we had to dig it out of the mud when it got stuck.
I'm thinking I might be getting too old to be doing this kind of physical effort, but the truth is, even though it was hard work and I can barely keep my eyes open as I write this blog post I am so, so, so grateful to God for the strength and energy he has supplied me with.
I can do this work and then be tired.  Praise God.

Yapping Dawg

I saw this place down a side road outside of Anson, TX.  It's a stand-alone building, apparently selling liquor - beer & wine.  The building is pink, has a small entrance door, a window with protective bars and a list of hours that it's open.  
It appears to be abandoned.
