Clouds Over Wuthrich Hill

When it was obvious I’d not be getting a full moon photograph on Wednesday evening, I was more than glad to see this often-documented view of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, resting atop a hill in Wuthrich Hill, northeast of Taylor.   I’ve photographed this church many times since 2009.   Unless we move out of the area, I’ll continue to capture its presence.

Clouds Over the Prairie

A full moon was hoped for this evening, but clouds put that notion to rest.  However, the collection of clouds over this barn and field in East Williamson County was just fine.    We need rain on the prairie.   If that means not seeing the moon, that’s okay.  

Before Dawn in Taylor

Stepping into the backyard just after 6a.m.  the full moon, nearing moonset, was glowing.  Since clouds and rain were forecast for the next few days, the lunar appearance  encouraged a drive around for a better venue.   Clouds and mist, however, quickly replaced moon glow.   Rather than waste an early outing, I made a few photos around Taylor, including the former First Presbyterian Church, soon to be a mixed use development, Talbot Commons, the Taylor rail yards, plus  a couple of downtown shop windows.   The post concludes with some food trailers near Old Taylor High, then one of Old Taylor High by itself.   You make do.  Always.

A Fine Old Barn

Look closely, you’ll actually see two barns in this scene east of Taylor.   The  early-evening light graces their metallic  facades so well.   The property has a For Sale sign attached.   I hope the new owners will hold onto what’s precious.

Owls

A  friend’s social media post, a mom and baby owl near Taylor’s Fannie Robinson Park , got my attention.   Sunday afternoon I decided to look for the pair. I found the baby owl nestled underneath a railroad trestle.   Mama wasn’t there.  This afternoon I returned, finding mama nestled with baby.   The last photo, baby by herself, gives you a little context. 

From a Recent Morning Walk

One of those occasional morning walk posts, beginning with something seasonal from a front porch in Taylor.  Guarding the gate.   And two from Bull Branch Park, including a turtle not immediately jumping into the water when spotting a human, plus a squirrel enjoying a nutty breakfast.   The squirrel almost looks prayerful, doesn’t she?

Morning Into Evening

There’s a quite a lot I documented today for compensation.   Much of what’s photographed, however, is just because moves me.    These two photos weren’t taken for monetary gain.    The first photo was taken as sunrise mist enveloped a pond and tree in Georgetown.   The second one was taken tonight, Evening Primrose wildflowers underneath a setting sun in Taylor.    Morning into evening, friends,
