Jesus with Lamb

Every month, on the Sat closest to the 15th of the month, my church serves a free dinner in the parking lot of a church in downtown Abilene.  There's a huge parking lot on the back side the structure, and in one of the grassy areas there's a statue of Jesus holding a staff with a lamb on His shoulder.  

For some reason this was the first time I really noticed the statue in the back yard of the Methodist church. The bird on Jesus' head just didn't seem to be bothered by my attention. 

 I had to snap a photo of it.  

I love statues and this one is so comforting.

We serve a lot of meals to homeless folks.  It's such a great ministry.

Painted artwork

While waiting for our pizza to get ready in Baird, we were walking around town.  There was one wall where there was a huge mural painted on it.  I only had my point-and-shoot Canon, so I couldn't get the entire wall.  I managed to get this smaller piece of a cowgirl sitting on a barrel.

License Plates

One of the restaurants in Abilene has a wall of license plates as you first walk in the door.

It's really interesting.  As I was making this image, I noticed that all the plates are right-side-up or sideways except for one. 

California is the only plate that's upside down.  Yah for this business!!!!

Aloe Plant

In downtown Abilene, there are areas that have been decorated with plants, and this is one of the areas that has several aloe plants.  

The downtown area is beginning to look really nice with the upgrades that are going on.

Park Fountain

San Angelo has a beautiful park at one end of the town and there are a couple of fountains in it.  I didn't have my tripod with me, so I couldn't slow down the speed much more than this, but I still like the way it came out.  It was hot that day, but at least most of the paths through the park were in shade.

"SALE" sign.

I saw this SALE sign in front of a store in Albany the other day.  I thought it was so cute~~handmade and all.  I love that the letters are f different designs.  I didn't go in.  I don't need one more thing for my house for me at this point in time.
