365/365

A House and Winter Grass

This is day 365 of 365.  It's the first time I've ever finished a photo-a-day for an entire year.  Other years I've almost done it, but I never managed to complete the year.  

A friend and I took a drive this afternoon to a town I've never been to before.  

It's name is Desdemona~~sounds like a girl's name, right?, but that's actually the name of the town.

We came across this abandoned house.  There are so many (abandoned houses).  I couldn't get any closer since there was a fence around the property.

So tomorrow begins a new year.  Wonder if I'll be able to post a photo-a-day for the year?

Happy New Year to y'all.

Large Pond

Texas trivia: 

 There is only ONE natural lake in Texas but this is not it.

Although there are over 7,000 lakes in the state, only Caddo Lake in east Texas is natural.

In comparison, NY state has over 7,000 natural fresh water lakes.

Alaska has 3,197 named lakes and about 3 million un-named lakes.

A friend and I took a photo field trip today.  We were driving down a service road along one of the main highways looking for a photo op.  We stopped to photograph something else, but when I turned around I saw this partially frozen pond.  The temp was about 36 today, but in the previous days it had been in the teens and I guess it wasn't warm enough today to melt all the surface ice.
