These barn swallows are here most every day when I go on my morning walk. Today they had a nice background.
It looks like they are “social Distancing” well. I wonder what they are talking about?

I shot this after a rain last weekend. The underside was just as pretty as the front.

Peace. Stay Safe!
A few weeks ago we took a little road trip near the Texas, Oklahoma border. Carpenters Bluff, Texas is not really there anymore. Very few houses are left. Most all the buildings are demolished, but the bridge still crosses the Red River.
I was there several years ago on my motorcycle and it could still be driven. Today it is closed except pedestrian traffic and graffiti. On the Wooden side, moss has all but taken over several yards of the bridge.
We had a nice time but the wind was blowing so much, we didn’t stay long.
I can’t wait to see what the next adventure might be!

Last weekend I got my wife some flowers for Mother’s Day. Saturday it was raining all day so the flowers called me.
The background is a blurred photo of our shower curtain.

Photographing spider webs are cool to in the right light. Not seeing them, and walking into them, not so much.

During this crazy stay at home time, I had to go out early one morning. It was misty and overcast but it made a nice glow in the lights. This was taken at 6:30am at central expressway and George Bush tollway on a Sunday morning.

Social distancing is still in effect, with good reason, but I went to a park to make some pictures. The wildflowers are blooming in Texas and the weather was nice. I went early in the morning, I figured no one would be at this little area.
It was a very nice day but these flowers move so easily with the slightest breeze. The bees were a bonus.
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!

Over the next several weeks, I am going to start an abstract project. This was taken a few weeks ago early one morning a the Hagerman Wildlife Refuge. The early morning glass smooth water made the reflection more interesting to me.
It could be a family, the Daddy, the Mama, and the 4 children all heading West!
