Birds on Wires

I made this image a couple of weeks ago with my cell phone, so it isn't great quality.  

I just thought it looked interesting with the birds on the wires against a blue sky.

Too bad I didn't have my SLR with me to get a better image.

Abandoned School Building

This abandoned building is located in Stamford, Texas.  It looks like it was a school building once upon a time, but the plaque above the door had the name

"Brotherly Love Bible Mission".

It might have morphed into a mission.  There were no other identifiers on or near the property to say what the structure had been.  

I can just imagine, in my mind's eye, students walking up those stairs to attend classes at one time.  I could be completely wrong, but imagination is a good thing.

Registration Line

At the Taylor Electric Customer Appreciation event, the cars were driving through their huge building.  I'm not sure what the voting was for, but the company was giving the occupants of each car some separate gifts, a gift bag and food.  

The event lasted from 10 am to 5 pm.  Wow. It must have been a very long, busy day for the Taylor Electric employees.

Taylor Electric Pens

One of the electric companies in this area is Taylor Electric.  They had their yearly customer appreciation event today and one of my photographer friends had the contract to photograph the event.  He called me to help him.

These pens were on one of the tables where the cars were driving through to get their gifts from the company.  I don't know if they write in different color ink, but I thought they looked cool lying on the table like this.

Advertisements at a Coffee Shop

While waiting for a friend to meet me at the local coffee shot, I grabbed this image of the advertisements right inside the front door.

Window Repetition

One of my prompts was "repetition".  I thought this image of windows on a high rise apartment building in downtown fit the prompt.

Building and Sign

I found a place in downtown Abilene where I haven't been before.  The sign looks like it belonged, once upon a time, to a motel.  The words on the building, which I've removed, indicate that it was an 

electric company at one time.  Maybe it was a motel before that, who knows.

Rocking Chairs

While waiting for a friend outside Cracker Barrel, I snapped this photo of the rocking chairs they have for sale.  They even have smaller chairs for children now.

Crocus Design

I was on one of the college campuses today and saw a garden with various colored crocuses and in the middle of it all was an upright metal rectangle with a crocus emblem on each side.  

I thought this metallic design of the crocus was so pretty.

The flowers were beautiful too but it was windy and in full sun so it was difficult to 

get a good photo of any of them.

Abandoned Country House

As we were driving down the road I noticed this house in a field, so we detoured a little and were able to get pretty close to it.  It was totally deserted, but there was a DISH on one side of the house and some air conditioners in the windows.  I looked in one of the windows and saw a bed mattress, shelves on the wall with knick-knacks, some clothing.  The people who lived here must have just decided one day to walk away.  There were also some sheds nearby with all manner of "things" still there.

It's a curiosity why these places are abandoned like they are.

Confederate Flag 

My friend and I stopped in the country cemetery and we saw this 

Confederate Flag flying at one of the graves.  

In all the cemeteries I stopped at I've never seen one of these flags before.

Oil Tanks on Dirt Road

The weather was incredibly beautiful today.  It was sunny and only about 68 degrees.  

I took a drive on some back roads of a small town not too far from here and 

came across these oil tanks.

Nothing super exciting, but it was good to get out even if this was the only subject I managed to find to photograph.

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.

Radium Girls

Once in a while when I'm in the library, I look for a movie to watch.

I saw this one and took it home.  I knew it was a true story and not a really happy one so I held off watching it until yesterday.

It was really good.  Just be warned that it will tug on your heartstrings, but there was a positive outcome at the end.

Pink Lily

I made this image a long time ago.  I might have already posted it, but I don't remember.

I love the pink color.

It's raining today, thankfully.  We haven't had rain in a long time.  The temps are also cooler, and the longer they stay cool, the happier I'll be.  It will be way too hot for way too long here.

It's a get-undekr-a-blanket-on-the-couch-with-a-cup-of-coffee-and-a-book kind of day today.

I'm reading 

"Between the Wild Branches", by Connilyn Cossette.

Abandoned One Story Building

As I was wandering around downtown today, I found this abandoned building.  There were no signs to indicated what it had been.  Another conundrum.

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.
