Historic Cabin 

In Albany, Texas, this cabin sits in a park for visitors to see.  There's information about it as well as a bulletin board announcing events that will be taking place.

The doors and windows were locked, so I don't know if there's any chance of getting inside at any point but the cabin is fun to look at anyway,

Mushroom Graffiti

In a different location than the eye graffiti, there's this mushroom graffiti.  The artwork I gorgeous, I couldn't resist taking a photo of it.

Eye Graffiti

In one of the alleys in downtown Abilene there's a blank yellow wooden wall and today I noticed that there's two beautiful graffiti designs on it.  Both are signed, but I can't read the writing.

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.

Motel Backyard in Eastland

My friend and I decided to take a ride to Eastland and we stopped in the coffee shop that's on the lower level of a motel.  There's this beautiful pool in the backyard along with a couple of BBQ grills, changing rooms and bathrooms.  There was a pool cleaner in the water doing its work and of course there wasn't anyone swimming at this point in the year, but it's still a great place.  

Almost makes me want to take a little vacation to this place in the warm weather just for a short get-away.  Probably won't happen, but it's a nice thought..

Loading Zone

One of the businesses in Coleman has this doorway and No Parking sign on the exterior wall.  

I think the business is closed, but the sign is still there.

Monk's Fireplace

My fave coffee shop just underwent a slight remodel.  These flames were painted in the fireplace.  The photo was originally in color, but I tried it in bw and I liked it, so there you go.

Abandoned Shed

My friend and I took a long ride today to find some photo ops.  We came upon this shed where half is falling down and the other half is still standing but is in terrible condition.

Locked Door

These are doors to an abandoned church in the outskirts of downtown Abilene, Texas.  There's no sign indicating what kind of a church it was, but the windows are boarded and there is this lock and chain on the entrance doors.

I Heart Manny

I was walking around downtown looking for some images for the next photo group competition when I came across this graffiti in one of the alleyways.

I hope "Manny" sees it.

Was it a Garage?

Seen behind an abandoned house on some private property down a country road in rural Texas.

Abandoned Sanctuary

This is the inside of an abandoned country church.  The church sits next to a cemetery.  

The interior seems to be in pretty good condition.  There was no information anywhere in or around  the structure indicating what church it was or the years it was active.

It must have been a sweet congregation.

Abandoned Country House 3

Another beautiful weather day.  A friend and I spent the afternoon driving around looking for photo ops.

We came upon this abandoned house.  Sadly we couldn't get any closer because of the locked gate and the barbed wire, but I think the image  looks great anyway.

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.

Off Road Cabin

On the way to Rule, Texas we saw this very, very abandoned cabin just off the main road.  There's probably not anything redeemable about this structure but it sure makes for a great photo.  We walked all around the cabin and there wasn't a bad perspective to be seen considering how decrepit the structure is.

Rustic Steps at the State Park

I took a drive to the state park about ½ hour from here.  It's really not a very exciting park, but there were a lot of people wandering the trails and a lot of campers, probably because it was a holiday and the weather was so beautiful.  I love these stairs, but one can only make just so many images of them.  I've made one or two images in the summer when things are more green, but it still doesn't look much different.

At least it was some outdoor exercise and it was great to be walking through a forested-looking area rather than the track around the gym at the Y.

Wacky Structure
