Even if nobody was around to see the photographs I post, I’d do it anyway.   Seeing life unfold is a therapeutic joy.   These are from daily strolls in Taylor, Texas.   Again, there are too many photos offered, but there’s a lot to winnow down.   All walk photos are taken with an inexpensive and light Olympus camera.   Nikon is still my go-to gear, but that Olympus, costing less than your phones, is a gem.  

Since it’s late, only a few words tonight.   Photos offered are from Granger’s 46th Annual Lakefest, held Friday and Saturday in the heart of this town a few minutes north of Taylor.  I think the current population is around 1500, but am open to suggestions. Many of my photos are taken in or near this community.   Lakefest is always held on Mothers Day weekend.   The name can be confusing since Granger Lake is several miles east of downtown, but that’s okay.   Just scenes from Friday evening and today, including a parade, car show, barbecue cook-off and a washers tournament.   The washers tournament wasn’t photographed, too many irons in the fire.  The German Shepherd  was howling to beat the band during this morning’s parade.  He wasn’t a fan of fire department sirens, definitely a smart pooch.

A few photographs from recent evenings on the prairie.   If there’s a theme needed, skies might work.   Areas visited for these include Granger, Taylor and Wuthrich Hill, but many already know that.

A followup to Thursday night’s windmill post.   Mills in monotone.

Each of these has been photographed a few times, but I never grow tired of seeing them.    If able, I may post them in a different way on Friday.   For now, just some windmills.

Corn is the most abundant crop you’ll see anywhere around here.   The fields around our area are coming along nicely.   While beautiful to see and photograph, I can’t help wishing there was more corn grown for human consumption, but it’s still nice to see, particularly in a scenic place.

Sunset nears tonight near Granger  after a day of sometimes intense rain.   We need that rain, but do like our sunsets.

Thankfully, this was taken near the end of my two-plus hour walk this morning in Taylor.    Needless to say, the photograph, as one of my photo directors used to say, was “quick and dirty.”  

A few photographs taken during periods of much-needed rain today.   The church and cemetery are Holy Trinity Catholic Church of Corn Hill.  And that appears to be a free-range turkey.   Others (hopefully) need no explanation.  Apologies for the late post, but it’s reading time before bed tonight.  Take care.
