Window Grafitti

I was in town this afternoon and one of the vacant buildings has large windows.  One of the windows had this graffiti painted on it.

Abilene is know as the Storybook Capital of the United States, so they have a lot of Winnie the Pooh graphics scattered around as statues and graffiti.

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.

Wildflowers

This is not a scene usually seen in Abilene, Texas, but we've had a lot of rain this year.  It's just so simply pretty.

My heart is grateful for:

lots of rain

Some Time in Albany

31/365

 A friend and I decided to go to downtown Albany to photograph the architecture at dusk.  It was supposed to be a nice day, but as we began the drive the rain started.  Even though we were a little discouraged, we were determined to keep going since we had cancelled the same fieldtrip last week because of the rain.

When we arrived it was still raining but the Egg sheltered us and in just a short while the rain stopped.   There's not much more of a story to this.  We photographed until it was almost dark and we were cold enough that it wasn't enjoyable any more.

I think the rain was a blessing in disguise because of the interesting shiny patterns left on the ground.  

Still some nice color on the trees in the background
