Laser Show

Before the rodeo began at the West Texas Fair and Rodeo they had a new concept.  

A laser show.  

It was really beautiful.

At the zoo this morning, I saw this pretty painted fence with wildflowers behind it.

Such a pretty scene.

Abandoned Gas Station

On the way into Colorado City there are some abandoned structures.  This one happens to be an old gas station.  On the right corner is what was the office and to the  left of the image there are two overhead doors where work on the cars probably took place.

Artwork in the Alley

As I got out of my car I glanced across the street and saw this scene.  I thought it really looked interesting, so I grabbed my camera and got an image of it.

Cactus Mural

In Coleman, Texas there is a mural on the outside wall of a business that's all cactus and flowers.  It's really beautiful and it faces a large parking lot.  Everyone who parks there can see this beautiful artwork.

Flower Graffiti

One of the businesses in downtown Abilene has their outside wall painted in these beautiful colors from the ground to the top of the building.  It's such an outstanding bright spot along the sidewalk.

Bangs, TX graffiti

I was in Bangs, TX today and came across this graffiti on the wall outside a feed store.

I thought it was so beautiful I had to get an image of it.

A Pretty Painting on a Brick Wall

I think I was in Colorado City when I saw this flower painting on the outside of one of the businesses.

It filled the entire wall and had some words, but I just wanted to show the flowers.

Brick Wall Corner

On one of my photo trips, I saw this brick corner on one of the buildings and thought the colors looked interesting.

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?

Baby Girl Quilt

My granddaughter is having her first baby in June.  The parents are both super-excited. 

It's my first great grandchild.

I've been making quilts for all the new babies in the family.

I hope she likes this one.

Graffiti With Pole

In the alleyway downtown that's painted, this pole isn't painted.  It's too bad they didn't paint the pole the same colors as the wall it sits in front of.

Alleyway Artwork

I was walking around downtown Abilene this afternoon waiting for my meeting to begin.  There's an alleyway that's been recently painted with beautifully colored graphic designs.  

I made a few images, so I post this one today.

Lesser Flamingo

Just inside the zoo entrance there's an enclosure with Lesser Flamingos.  They're called Lesser Flamingos because they're the smaller of the flamingo birds and they skim the water with their beaks to find food instead of inserting their faces into the water.  They also seem to be a lighter pink.

They're just as beautiful as the larger variety of flamingos though.

Baby Quilt in the Making

My granddaughter is having a baby girl~~my first great-grandbaby.  

(I don't know how all that time has passed)

I decided to stay home this morning in order to work on the quilt.  I have plenty of time, but I really want to get it finished and check it off my list.  

The pattern doesn't include a border around the outside, but I think I'll add one so the quilt will be a little bigger.  Now I have to go to the fabric store and find something that will coordinate with what I've already made.  

Nothing is ever as simple as you think it will be.

I hope my granddaughter likes it.
