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.

A sea of green surrounds a farmer likely nearing home.   From a recent venture in East Williamson County, Texas.

Ten snapshots from daily walks this past week in Taylor, Texas.   So far, these photographs are taken with an inexpensive Olympus camera, also very light.   I’m still a Nikon guy, but do enjoy toting something that doesn’t beat one up.  

Since moving to Taylor in 2009, the event now called Taylor Fest has also been called Blackland Prairie Days, Zest Fest, etc.  This year’s festival was held Saturday at Heritage Square Park.   Several acts performed, but this post focuses on two, Round Rock Ballet Folklorico and the Aztec Dancers, from Taylor’s Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church.   The most compelling Aztec Dancer was just 3-years-old.  Every photo from their performance includes this little guy.  Normally, I’d include more troupe members, but that little guy’s expressions determination were too good to pass up.  

The Williamson Museum held its 19th Pioneer Day at the Old Settlers Association site in Round Rock today.   While it would’ve been nice to stay longer, another assignment was also happening.   The Old Settlers Association grounds are adorned with snippets of Williamson County history.   The last photo is of friend David Valdez.   David, the official photographer for President George H.W. Bush, and a Williamson County resident,  led a photo walk here today.  He’s a year older than yours truly, but has an abundance of energy.
