Sunset tonight, with trees.  A followup to tonight’s other post.

A “Follow the Light” column is occasionally done for the Williamson County  Sun.   Topics vary, but are generally quiet things.   Another one of these publishes in Wednesday’s edition.   This time it’s just about trees.   The print edition includes a full page, plus a little over 200 words.   The column copy isn’t  included here.   Just trees, friends.

From a quiet Sunday drive through Falls County, Texas.    Assisted by sun and clouds, the winding road was shimmering.   It helped to have a windmill present, too.    A simple and peaceful outing.

Three photographs from  tonight.  A couple walks across the dam spanning the San Gabriel River at San Gabriel Park, the Williamson County Courthouse on the Georgetown square continues to shine.  And a Waning Gibbous moon over the San Gabriel River, as seen tonight in Taylor.

Photographs taken this week during daily walks in Taylor.   Since these seem to be a regular thing now, additional words are moot.  We see what we see.   That dog, however, really wanted to break through that fence.   It’s nice he didn’t.  

We were glad to see the first full moon of the year tonight in our area.   These photographs begin at a friend’s ranch in Circleville, where the starlings were quite active,  then going north a few miles to Granger, where holiday lights still shine.  

From tonight at Taylor’s Murphy Park, the always-present  cormorants enjoying their evening under a Waxing Gibbous moon, a little over 97 percent visibility.

A few photographs from New Year’s Eve on the square in Georgetown, Texas.  A Waxing Gibbous moon, at a bit over 92% visibility was shining.  Bradley brought  his powerful telescope to 8th and Main Streets for square visitors to get an unclose look.  And siblings enjoyed cupcakes on the the fourthouse steps with their mom and dad.   A Rock Iguana named Zule also enjoyed a night out with his human.

The only thing these three photographs  share is a sense of place, on the Blackland Prairie.   Each was taken  on recent evenings.   Just this and that, as an attempt to clear up space continues.   Donkeys are wonderful beings.   The fireworks stand is one of several near Taylor.   One assumes they’re all outside the town city limits.  Fireworks sales are apparently prohibited in town.   And a lone star, seen tonight in a field east of Granger.  Stars get more traction this time of year, but they’re appreciated  anytime.
