Another batch of photographs from daily walks, all in Taylor. Most of what I see are small things, just snippets. So far, until someone finds a better small camera with telephoto capabilities, the Olympus does the job. The next few days and evenings will be devoted to a lot of driving. Daily walks may have to take a back seat. A little visual rest might be good.
Photographs taken today at Independence Day celebrations in Taylor and Georgetown. The first there were taken this morning in Taylor. The remaining ones are from Georgetown’s Sertoma Club July 4th celebration in San Gabriel Park. It rained a lot today, rain that we need. A couple who have a face painting business found time to spend with each other. What you won’t find here are fireworks photos. I am no fan of those. 
Red-winged blackbirds are small, elegant little creatures, but quite elusive at times. This one in a field near Granger tonight was accommodating for a few moments. 
This little white horse seemed to glow on this cloudy night in Williamson County, Texas. She took a few moments to notice the camera before continuing her munching. 
Milo (grain sorghum) just keeps finding its way into my viewfinder. This vibrant field was seen near Granger. 
A visit to Berry Springs Park & Preserve on Monday evening. I was fortunate to meet two sisters enjoying their time together, an angler with really good casting form, plus a Yellow-Crowned Night Heron doing a bit of fishing, too. 
A fireworks stand stays open late as Independence Day nears. 
As so-called progress continues its mission, it’s nice to find quiet roads like this, 
where I can wander with little interference. Those are becoming rare in areas around Central Texas. A few remain, thank goodness.
A few from this week’s walks, one in Georgetown, the others in Taylor. I’ll leave it at that, friends. 
A collection of photographs from Friday night’s Williamson County Sheriff’s Posse Rodeo, for several years held in Jarrell. Rodeos first were held beginning in 1938 at Georgetown’s San Gabriel Park, where they continued through 2018. Since then, the rodeo has been held along County Road 305 in Jarrell. It continues this evening, with gates opening at 6pm. Wherever it’s held, it’s a fine event. Most photos need little information. The opening shot is a granddad, a member of the drill team, spending time with his 11-month-old grandson before joining his team in the arena. The last photo was taken at night’s end, a father and his daughter unwinding by their horse trailer. Daughter competed in Breakaway Roping. Dad was there to cheer her on.
