Today the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison Texas said they could not perform an air show this year, so they performed another Fly Over for the COVID-19 Doctors, Nurses and Front liners.
I did not have time to get on my roof, but for a hot humid, hazy day, the shots came out ok.
I made two black and white to resemble the era.

This long Memorial Day weekend, remember the ones that fought for our freedoms and lives.
I suppose I am drawn to the demolition of buildings and structures around town. Down the street from our house, another Gas station/Convenience store is being demolished to make way for something new and better.
I guess even Beer & Wine or State Inspections couldn’t save this one.
I’m pretty sure this wont happen in this building anyway!

I will have twelve of my photos on display at Methodist Richardson Medical Center Community Art Wall over the next several weeks. I am both excited and a little nervous.
Thanks to our friends Cheryl-Ann!
At the same car wash, I saw some mud boots. One pair on the driveway and this pair next to the Smokeless cigarettes.
I did also see a hoodie, down the way too. I didn’t know what was next, so I decided to turn around!

A few days ago we took an unexpected trip to South Texas. It was a lengthy trip in hours so we spent the night. While the others were getting ready, I took a stroll to the car wash next door. Funny what you can find when casually walking around.
In my opinion, the best cigarettes are the ones that can’t be smoked.

The mystery of fog.
Even though I stand on my driveway most every day and know what is there, the fog adds a little suspicion.
Today was an exceptionally foggy day, especially for Texas. The weather man said some places had zero miles visibility. I could’t help but grab my camera. Even though I could hear people, I couldn’t see anyone. I could barely make out the trees.
Those trees are about the length of a football from the end of our driveway.

As it gets closer to Christmas, the Reindeer get more and more restless. The door is open but being a little skittish, they are not quite ready to run out just yet.

Well, I couldn’t resist.
Last Saturday I went by the remains of Collin Creek Mall again. There is still a lot of demo to be done. I went early to catch the sunrise.
The Sears store is mostly gone. There are a few more piles of rubble here and there with several rows of concrete waiting to be recycled.
One of the upper floors has a bunch of tires laying there. Wonder if they were leftover from Sears?

Maybe I “WILL” take a few more shots of the demo. It helps me see the photo instead of a snapshot.
I’m thinking this may be my last post of the mall for a while. I try to stop by at least once a week to see the progress. I was hoping I could have seen them tearing down the Sears sign, but too late, its already in the piles of tin steel and concrete.
Here is a panoramic shot from the raised parking lot to the east. I’m just a little too far away.

SEArS. The letters on the Sears end of the mall have been hanging for a while before the mall actually closed. I stopped by when you could still go inside the mall and could not resist to shoot the sign.

It wont be dangling much longer as the demo crew has started on that section of the mall.

Its kind of funny the barricade is still there. We sure don’t want that letter to fall on anyone!
