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.

Snake Plant

Inside the coffee shop in Eastland, Texas, there are plants and other pieces of decor for the enjoyment of the customers.  I just love the was this plant looks against the red brick wall inside the shop.

Entrance to Upstairs

This is the doorway to the upstairs of a building that contains businesses and photo studios.  

To the left of the image, that is unseen, is an elevator.

Framed flowers

Inside the building where there are offices and work places upstairs, there's this framed photo of paper flowers hanging in the hallway.  

It's a great piece of decoration.

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.

Downtown Plant Decor

Downtown Abilene has been revitalized.  There's a lot of decor around.  This plant is just one of several in a row surrounded by rocks.  It's really a beautiful sight.

Wall Decor

In one of the places I visited today, this wall decor just caught my eye.  I love the color and the simplicity of it.

Coffee Shop Decor

My fave coffee shop has remodeled a little and they placed this plant in the corner with the frame in front of it.  What a cute idea.

Artwork in a Coffee Shop

One of the more popular coffee shops in Abilene has this arrangement of artwork decorating one of the walls where there's a small sitting area.  It's just so welcoming.

Wings on a Wall

While walking through downtown the other day, I wandered through an alleyway and came across this artwork.  The wings are a little high up so I'm not sure if they're intended for people to pose in front of them, or if they're just art for art's sake.

Wall Art on Abandoned Building

It was really nice today~~a little cool, but not bad if you're dressed for the coolness.  I took a drive along some roads I've never been on before and found this structure. The door to the left of the word "crown" (not in the photo) was locked tight and there were only some small windows that were covered over on the inside.  

What was this building?  How do people pay the taxes on a completely unused building? 

I'll probably never know.

Gnome on Wall

It was a stunningly beautiful day today.  The temp hovered around 82 and the humidity was about 32.  The sun was shining and there was a little breeze.  

After I went to the grandkid's lesson this afternoon, I drove around looking for some photo ops.  I finally parked the car and got out to walk around with my camera, and I found this little single layer of brick wall in between two larger brick walls.  I almost missed the gnome painting.

How cute is this?

Frog Decor

I was leaving a friend's house today when I noticed this cute little frog decor in the front yard of the house next door.

Dragonfly

I bought this dragonfly for my car quite a few years ago.  

I've never even considered changing it out for another piece of decor.

I just love this one.

Reindeer on a Light Post

The other day during daylight I made an image of this reindeer on a light pole.  No lights were on, and it looked ok but I didn't think I'd get back when it was darker and the lights would be on.

Today is was a balmy 75 degrees so I forced myself to get out and get to town at dusk.  

Many of the light poles near the park were decorated like this and they sure looked pretty.

Minimalist lighting

While I was in the park trying to decide what images to make, I turned around and saw the building across the street with this single strand of lights across the roof area.  There are no other lights or decorations on the building. I wonder how many people actually look up to see the lights?

As I'm getting older I'm becoming more minimalist, so I really appreciate the simplistic effort of this building decorated for the holiday season.

Christmas Tree Ornaments

This display of large ornaments is situated outside a childcare center.  Simplicity at its best.

Large Wreath

This wreath is on the same church where the angels are on display.  Just a simple green wreath and red bow.  At night the wreath is decorated with lights.

Christmas Tree Topper

While I was waiting for my coffee in my favorite coffee shop, I noticed this tree topper.  I only had my cell phone with me, but I think the image came out pretty nice
