Occasionally these moments just pop up.   While photographing another subject in Coupland late last week, the setting sun demanded attention.    It’s nice when that happens.

The Georgetown Pride Festival, coordinated by Georgetown PFLAG, was held Saturday at Wellspring United Methodist Church.  Several attendees gave a positive nod to the Williamson County Sun for its interest and coverage.    One gentleman, who attended with his wife, offered some of the performers rides in his replica of a 1929 Ford Model A.    The couple holding the Transgender Pride flags are the pastors at Wellspring.  

Vibrant and darkening skies over a windmill west of Granger tonight.

Power lines can often be a nuisance, but occasionally, at the right time of day, they are elegant. An evening scene in Taylor.

Take note of the last photograph, looking into Taylor’s Bull Branch Creek.   Do you see the faces?  One at lower left, others, too.   Not seen while taking the photo.  Nor artificially generated.  The walk/photo therapy continues.   Even another squirrel.

In recent years we’ve seen more Crested Caracaras in Texas and the southern United States.  Members of the falcon family, they’ve migrated north, from Central America and Mexico.   Friends north of us may not be seeing them yet, but they’re on their way.   They’ve also been called Mexican Eagles.   Getting a clear photograph of one has been challenging, but this one was seen just east of Taylor this week.  

It’s a nice area, one not traveled a lot.   This is from Thursday night.

The word  in August  was that the Coupland  Dancehall, around for more than 120 years,  would be closing after a show  by Kenny Orts on October 11th.    On Tuesday, however, it was announced that Lightstream Presents would assume  management of the hall.    The site will close until November 7th, when Aaron Watson takes the stage.    It’s  nice to see these historic sites preserved.

Over 3,000 pumpkins (46,000 pounds) were unloaded this afternoon at First United Methodist Church in Georgetown.   An abundance of volunteers were on hand to help out.   The pumpkins are grown by members of the Navajo Nation in New Mexico.   In a little over two hours the pumpkins were placed.  After the work was done, volunteers were treated to pizzas.  The sale begins Thursday, continuing until Halloween.  

A few scenes from one of Georgetown’s National Night Out events held at the Georgetown Housing Authority’s Stonehaven unit.   Members out the police department were well-represented, but the fire department personnel were gone in a snap.   Apparently, the city had over 60 National Night Out block parties.   First responders were busy.    A few good moments were seen at Stonehaven.
