Thanks TB

TB had a great picture up this am.  I really did like it.  Even had a sentiment on it.

 

My kids were on the way to Uvalde yesterday, and my daughter sent this via text.  I used to call my dad and visit when I saw a sight like this.  That was back when I was running the roads as a salaried professional and he was on this side of his reward.


Earth Turn - 17 Nov 2020 - John Nance Garner country

When the close of day explodes into color at the end is my favourite time.  I used to stand out at the barn when I was a kid and watch the earth turn.  I usually had my Instamatic with the 120 color film in it.  Those little fixed focus cheapies could take some stunning pictures with good film.  And the 120 format was bigger than the 110 giving a better image.  I loved those little Kodacs.

 I doubt anyone remembers Cactus Jack Garner.  He had some choice things to say about being FDR's vice president.

 


Not really a haiku.  But there ya go...

    1. West Texas is harsh, arid, and beautiful. This is about a 100 miles east of the Jersey Lilly. Yeah, THAT Jersey Lilly in Langtry.
