Damaged Box

Once a month I place an order with an online business called Melaleuca.  They sell healthy products:

shampoos, house cleaning items, weight loss items, snacks, etc.

This box was waiting for me yesterday at my door.  I've never received a damaged box from them before~~it was probably the delivery system.

Before I opened it I took a photo of it just in case any of the items inside were damaged, but they weren't thankfully.

Peaked Roof of Abandoned Church

This is an abandoned church on one of the side streets in Anson, TX.  Doors and windows are covered with boards and the bell from the steeple is missing.

Alleyway Back Door

This back door is in an alleyway in Eastland, TX.  Hard to tell if the building is abandoned by looking at it in the alleyway.

Building Cornerstone

This is an abandoned church building down one of the side streets in Anson.  The structure is boarded up and the belfry had no bell.  The grass badly needs to be cut.

Alleyway graphic

One of the alleyways in Anson has this beautiful & colorful graphic advertising the Museum.

Painting on a Coffee Shop wall

One of the coffee shops in Anson has this mural painted on the outside wall as an advertisement.

I was there late in the afternoon, so the shop wasn't open, sad to say.

Alleyway Scene

I was walking through some of the downtown alleyways in Anson, TX and came across this scene.

I think this is an abandoned building, but I like the painting of the vase in between the doorways.

Announcements

There's an art center in downtown Abilene and on one of the outside walls there are these announcements about coming events.  The photo club I attend once a month meets at this venue, and it's right across from my fav coffee shop, so I see the banners regularly.  

The art center has rotating displays of artist's work inside throughout the year and it's always fun to see what's on display when I attend my meetings.

Flavors

While waiting for my fav coffee drink at the coffee shop, I decided to grab a pic of these flavors lined up against the far wall. 

They all sound good, but I get the exact same drink every time I'm in the store...

a large blended Tuxedo with whipped cream.

Maybe someday I'll try something different, but for now, that's what I get.

Hobby Lobby

A while back JoAnn Fabric closed.  So sad.  So I've been buying my fabric at Hobby Lobby.  They have a great selection and I wait until they have their fabric sale in order to get the fabric when it doesn't cost so much.  

Today I decided I need a Jelly Roll to complete a quilt I started.  

They don't sell Jelly Rolls!!!

I went to Michael's.  

They don't sell Jelly Rolls!!!!

Now I'll have to order one online or else go to a fabric store and pay an outrageous amount of money for one, which I won't do.

So disappointing.

I think you have to be rich in order to sew anything these days.

Abandoned House on Corner

This abandoned house is on a corner in a run down neighborhood in Abilene, TX.  

The windows on one side are boarded up and there's a chain link fence surrounding the yard.  The other half of the building has an ac unit in the window, but the house is in disrepair and doesn't look like anyone is living in it.

The sky to the left looks like there's copy space.

Abandoned Warehouse

This corner of the building is just a piece of a long/large warehouse on the south side of Abilene, TX where there are other warehouses and other abandoned buildings. There's copy space on the white bricks and on the steps, while green vines grow cup the supports of the structure.

Ballet School

There's a ballet school in downtown Abilene, TX.  I've taken pics of each of the sides, but never of both of them at once.  I really like this image.

Upward Staircadse

This staircase is in an alleyway going up to the 2nd floor.  The building seems abandoned, and there's one broken pane of glass in the window.  This image was made on a cloudy July day and the temps were pretty moderate.

Winnie the Pooh

This is a painting on an unused store front in Abilene, TX.  It's just a small piece of a larger mural that adorns the glass plate window.  

Winnie the Pooh makes me smile all the time.

Justice Center

The front of the Sheriff's Dept in San Angelo.  The name and the entrance to the jail.

One End of the Building

The Sheriff's dept in San Angelo, TX.  

Three doorways and three tress on a beautiful, but hot, July day.

More Artwork

On one of the supports for the overhead roadway in San Angelo, there's a series of artwork.  

This is just two of them.

Artwork Under the Bridge

In San Angelo, this artwork can be seen under one of the bridge overpasses.  Several of the support systems for the overpasses have artwork on them or in the ground near them.  

Sidewalks meander under the overpass so it's easy to see and appreciate the artwork that's there.

River Walk in San Angelo

This unique bridge crosses the water in the park in San Angelo.  To the right, in the water, is a statue of a mermaid.  The park has many trees for shade, lots of grass and seems to be a great place for people to spend the day when the weather is good.

A CPA office    

This CPA office is located in San Angelo on one of the main streets.  This part of town was pretty well deserted on a late Sat. afternoon.  There was no foot traffic and very few cars were driving by.
