Reflection in Window Glass

One of the older buildings in downtown Abilene has a series of round windows instead of rectangular windows.  As I was looking for some photo ops today I noticed this reflection so I grabbed a shot of it.  The mural itself is really nice.  Too bad there was a vehicle there.

American Flag on fence.

I might have already posted this image a long while back, I can't remember.  I saw it as I was looking through my files and for some reason I really like it.  A few days after I made this image, I was walking around the same area and the flag was gone, sad face.

My heart is grateful:

that I live in America where we're still free

Tiger Eyes

This is a portion of a wall mural I saw while walking around downtown today.  I don't know if it has anything to do with the business, but I think it's beautiful

Underside of a Water Tower

This underside of a water tower isn't a very exciting image, but I saw it while I was driving around looking for some photo ops.  This beautiful day comes at the end of 3.5 really horrible/cold/icy days during which I was captive in my house because of the icy roads.

It was awesome being able to be outside again and it was warm enough that I didn't need a jacket.  

Today my thankful heart is thankful for:

getting ready to meet some friends for dinner

Another Trip to Chinatown

8/365

My friend, Jackie, and I decided to make another trip to Chinatown today.  We got there pretty early while it was still cool and not too crowded.  We both did a lot of random shooting.  It surprises me that every time we go there, we manage to find something interesting to shoot, but I think that's pretty true of any street photography--things are different minute by minute and all you have to do is keep your eyes open and be aware of what's going on around you.  

We found a couple of very colorful doors.  We just stood on the street across from the doors and waited for people to walk by.  I've only posted a selection of the ones I took of this green doorway because I didn't want to overload you with such similar images.

After making our usual stop at our favorite Starbucks we drove over Magic Island just to see if there would be anything interesting.  Usually there isn't in the middle of the day, but we took a chance.  There were 4 different bride/groom couples having their photos taken.  This couple was really fun, but I think it was partly to do with the photographer--he kept giving them suggestions for fun things to do.
