Yarn Design

I went to my photo meeting tonight at the Art Center in town.  The back hall has been spiffed up a little and this display of yarn on string is pretty new since I was there last.
There are instructions as to how to attach the thread~~probably unnecessary, but people seem to be very challenged these days~~but look how many yarns there are and how pretty the colors are.
I don't know if it's supposed to mean something, but it looks like a piece of artwork.  Too bad it's not in the main part of the art venue so all visitors can see it.

Squirrel Eating

I decided to go to the zoo today.  I take just about the same pics every time I'm there, but it's something to do and sometimes the animals are doing something interesting.
As I walked along the path, I saw this squirrel on this fence only about 3 feet from me and since I had a long lens, it was a perfect shot.  It's probably one of the best animal photos I've ever taken even though it's an ordinary American squirrel.  He must have really liked what he was nibbling on because he stayed like that for quite a while and I was able to get a bunch of images.  
It's the little things that can give joy.

Downtown Office Building

This is one of the buildings in downtown Abilene.  The sky was a beautiful color blue with the puffy clouds, but when I turned the image to black and white, I really liked the way it looks.

Bringing the Coffee

There's one overhead bridge in Abilene.  I'm hardly ever downtown during business hours, but today I was.  There were a lot of people crossing the bridge so I took my time and just waited.  I got some good shots, but I like this one.  Bringing the Coffee.

Foursquare Church

As I was driving around an area of Abilene that I've never been to before, I came across this Foursquare Church.  It's actually quite a bit larger than it looks in this image.  It's a large horseshoe shaped building, but getting the entire structure in a picture wasn't too attractive since a lot of the street/sidewak and sky would be in the photo.  I preferred this composition.

Free Repair

I think I saw this sign on a vacuum repair building, but I don't remember what it was referring to.  Maybe if you had a certain kind of work done, they'd do something else for free.  Anyway, I thought it was kind of interesting with the vertical black lines and then the blue letters.

Blind Pattern

I love the color of this blind and the look of the even pattern.  Image was taken from the outside of the building looking in through the glass.

Through the Opening

Somewhere in downtown Abilene, there's a brick wall with tiny openings as a barricade for a courtyard.  There was no sign indicating what the business/courtyard was, but the design on the far wall was pretty interesting.  
I wonder if anyone ever uses the courtyard when the weather isn't so brutally hot?
