Children's Artwork

In the children's room of the library there are several works of art hanging on the wall.  This is just a small section of one of the pieces.

A Boy and His Dog

This is a sculpture outside one of the art buildings in downtown Abilene.

My heart is grateful for:

the time I spent walking around downtown AGAIN looking for photo ops

Mini Models

I'm amazed I got a shot even this good considering how we were rushing to get done before the skies opened up with the threatening rain and it was just a cell phone image.  I'd love to go back and try it again with my grown-up camera and a little more time.

Feeling grateful for:

the fun we had on our little walk after our dinner

Random Thoughts

So...this virus has done a number on America (and other places I'm sure).  My opinions about it and the measures that have been taken shall not infringe on my posts, but it needs to be said that I haven't been taking the kinds of photos I would have, had the virus not happened.  Also...living in West Texas doesn't help.  It's ugly here. Finding a prettier place involves traveling for hours, and right now everyone is too leery to travel, which I find annoying, but that's the way it is.

So here is a random collection of photos:

An barrel-racing event at a mini-rodeo called a PlayDay

     So sweet that this little guy was guiding the horse for the littler girl.

 

Senior photo of a recent seminary graduate.

A group of us were out for a day of shooting practice at a gun range.

Photo Shoot

9/365

It was supposed to be sunny and beautiful that day.  Even the weather announcer on the radio seemed a little surprised that the clouds weren't cooperating by going away.  I was relieved though.  

Clouds mean the lighting is even (sometimes a little too even to be a little flat). They mean there's no need to squint. They mean slightly cooler temps.  They mean the photos can be taken in any direction.  So even though the lighting is not as creative as when the sun is shining, it makes the session a little more pleasant.

It turned out pretty well and everyone seems happy with the results.
