Three Chimneys Standing

These three chimneys are among the few left standing.

There's nothing left except the chimneys and one building frame that was used 

as a commissary.

Officer Quarters Chimney

This is one of the few remaining chimneys at Ft. Phantom.  The sign indicates that it was an officer's lodging, but all that's left now is the chimney and grass.

Single Chimney

This is one of the remaining chimneys at Ft. Phantom.

Wooden Fence

Around the complex I live in there's a fence.  Many of the slats have been destroyed by the weather, so the property manager had new slats put in.  I don't know if she's going to have them painted, but at least the fence looks better than it did.

It's Fall Y'all

Chalk on the sidewalk.

Fall Decor on House Steps

While walking around waiting for my grandkids class to begin, I saw this pretty arrangement of Fall Decor on some house steps.

Pretty House

While I was waiting for my grandkid's testing for their martial arts classes, I walked around the neighborhood for a few minutes.  The houses in that area are really pretty, so I grabbed a few images of several different homes.  This is quite a large structure, but I really like the front door with the window on the side.

Charles Bronson

Another portrait on the wall of the theater.

Luci

Another portrait of a famous person, framed and on the hallway wall of a theater.

Desi Arnez

I met some folks at the movie house last night.  On the way out of the theater after the movie was over

 there was a hallway with these portraits of famous people along the walls.  I only had my cell phone with me, but I decided to take some photos.

Four of the Six White Horses

While the girls were lining up their horses, I managed to get a shot of 4 of them.  I love the expressions on the girl's faces.  They look like they're having a great time.

Mutton Busting

This image isn't as sharp as it could be.  It always takes me a little while to get the right settings on my camera, but I managed to get this little guy on the sheep before he fell off.

Barrel Racing

Because the rodeo takes place inside the area, the lighting is pretty difficult.  I had my setting way up high, but managed to get a good shot of this rider going around the barrel.

Laser Show

Before the rodeo began at the West Texas Fair and Rodeo they had a new concept.  

A laser show.  

It was really beautiful.

Chili's Restaurant

It's been a long time since I've eaten in a Chili's.  I can't remember the last time I was in one.

They serve HUGE portions, so the meal I got would probably feed me for three meals.  

It was really good and it was fun getting to know some of the folks a little.

This Chili's is on the north side of town so after eating it was good to drive around and look for some photo opportunities.  

It's just plain HOT, HOT, HOT here and we're all waiting for the temps to go down, and we NEED  some rain.

Painted Building

The other end of the building was painted with another nautical theme and I loved the colors so I grabbed a shot of it.  I guess the doors lead to a storage unit for the restaurant that used to be there.

The Old Cabinet

We have this thing going on at our church.  Anyone who wants to can get on a list to have breakfast/lunch/dinner with 7-8 other people. (every 4 months it changes people so you can meet others) It's a great way to get to know others in the church and to make new friends, or just get out and have a diversion in your life.

Today was the day for our group to meet so we decided to go to Chili's on the north side of town for lunch.  

After we ate I drove around a little to see if there were any photos I could find since I don't usually go to that side of town very much.  There was an old building, painted on the outside with a nautical theme, that I thought was interesting and then I saw this empty cabinet.
