From around the Georgetown square tonight. A Waxing Crescent moon, at 10.7% visibility, hovers above in two photographs. Just light in the last two, including the stained glass windows of First Presbyterian Church. 
Another windmill, but one encased in cool blue light. One of many photographed, this one east of Taylor, close to Thrall. From tonight.
Photographs taken this afternoon during the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday observance in Georgetown, Texas. A march from the Georgetown square led to a program at Macedonia Baptist Church. This annual event is coordinated by the Georgetown Fellowship of Churches. 
From an outing this evening near Granger, Texas. The fence posts were the original thought, but the stream below pulled this together. Time of day is important. In the middle of the day this is a pretty mundane scene, but it improves near day’s end. Time of day matters. 
Saturday afternoon was devoted to covering a Granny Basketball matchup , the Texas Fire Ants team taking on members of the Georgetown Police Department at East View High School. The game benefits the Carver Center for Families. Please click on the link for more about this group. They’re good folks. The Fire Ants team is comprised of senior ladies, some in their 80s. Some of the police officers wore a band connecting their arms in order to create a more equitable matchup. The ladies in red are the Sun City Georgettes, there to perform and help cheer on the competitors. It was bunch of fun. The Fire Ants won, 55-47. 
As usual, no need to elaborate here, just photographs taken during walks this week in Taylor. 
More trees, these from the last few evenings in Williamson County, Texas. A little prairie grass is also included. The quality of winter’s light here is a gift. 
A version of this photograph is on the front page of this weekend’s Williamson County Sun. A couple takes in the serenity of moments just after sunset at Granger Lake. 
Three offerings from this evening, not far from Thrall. These are all in the same area. Included are a tractor at parade rest in a field near sunset, followed by what appears to be Sandhill Cranes, concluding with a photo of Zion Lutheran Church in Sandoval. The church is a beautiful but difficult subject, because of a huge and unsightly water tower standing right next to it. The light on the church, however, made it worthwhile tonight. 
Photographs are from this evening at the Bartlett City Cemetery, just a couple miles south of downtown. If you recall, Bartlett, Texas is a community about twenty minutes north of Taylor. Cemeteries continue to be fascinating. The cemetery, along County Road 387, is made up of the original grounds, with burials dating to the late-1800s. The opening photo, with the trees, is from the newer section. Others are from the original site. It would be nice to see the first site given more needed attention. Not everyone is comfortable with cemeteries, but this photographer finds comfort in them.
