This photo, taken a little north of Thrall, is nowhere near perfect, but I wanted to snap a photo before all these bluebonnets go to seed. That’s a lot of wildflowers. Most days I try to pay homage to my little bit of the Earth in our corner of the world. Each day is Earth Day. 
Tonight I attended this year’s first Music On Main, a series of free concerts held the third Thursday of the month at Taylor’s Heritage Square Park. The family-friendly (and dog-friendly) events are coordinated the Taylor Public Arts Advisory Board and the City of Taylor. It’s an inexpensive way to enjoy time with family and friends, including our furry ones! 
Few things rise above the end of another quiet day on the Blackland Prairie. You know this, but I continue to be enamored with windmills. They speak to the rich history of farm country. 
The wheat crop is beginning to look pretty nice this year. It’s still in its green phase for now, but will evolve as the season progresses. 
Seen this morning on my daily walk. I guess you could call it street photography, but it’s just recording the little slices of life as they come up. I can relate to this couple. My wife’s been cutting my hair for years. Another photo taken with that little Olympus, my “walking camera.” 
Just tossing stuff out there tonight. I do enjoy our prairie sunsets. 
A few photos from “Something Rotten,” soon to open this Friday at the wonderful Georgetown Palace. The show was originally supposed to open last Friday, but a cast member’s positive COVID test merited a cautious change in schedule. These are photos taken Friday evening in a very safe environment. Until they took the stage, the actors donned face masks. The rest of us had on masks for the duration. I’m hopeful the actors and crew will go forward with the theater’s latest musical. 
A weekend filled with clouds, but little rain, was replaced tonight by a Blackland Prairie sunset in this scene recorded tonight east of Granger. Let’s hope for healing rain, but try to appreciate nature’s gifts, too. 
An Easter sunrise service scene was something I’d wanted to photograph. Although the day began (and remains) cloudy, I made the short drive to Coupland, where St. Peter’s Church of Coupland was conducting a service on the grounds near their beautiful church, built in 1905-06. The opening photo was made about 15 minutes before sunrise, but probably best to just say dawn’s first light. The stained glass windows were remarkably vibrant surrounded by varying shades of gray. Most attendees, myself included, brought umbrellas. We stayed dry, but as one church member observed “We need the rain.” Indeed. 
Today I took photos at two Easter Egg Hunts, a morning one in Taylor, sponsored by the city, plus one this afternoon at Georgetown’s Church of the Nazarene. The images aren’t in any particular order, but open at the church, where a 4-year-old meets the Easter Bunny, relaxing on a 1970 VW bus.
