Just some Blackland Prairie  sunsets   No real need to say more.   Simple stuff.

A food drive was conducted by Antioch Georgetown this afternoon on the grounds at St. Paul United Methodist Church.   Approximately 40,000 Williamson County residents receive SNAP benefits, which came to a halt this weekend.  Several of today’s recipients were here.    Families in need were given a needed boost today.   This shutdown needs to end soon.

Another batch of photographs from daily strolls in Taylor, Texas.   It’s therapy, friends.  Really.  If you don’t like them, don’t look.   No hurt feelings here.

From Saturday’s Dia de los Muertos in downtown Georgetown, Texas.  Because you expect them, a couple of painted faces, plus a wonderful mariachi band.  It’s the faces, however, that do the work here, especially a 3-year-old totally enthralled.

Photos taken Saturday morning at Shepherd’s Heart Food Pantry in Taylor.   Although this is one of the pantry’s regular food distributions, the number of people helped  this week have begun to increase.   Volunteers from area churches were on hand to help.  As the government shutdown continues, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits have stopped beginning this weekend.  

Most of tonight’s Halloween photos from Georgetown’s Main Street are posted on Facebook and Instagram, but here’s a snippet.

Presented are a collection of photographs taken this month in and around Taylor, Texas.   Night photography is a passion.   Thankfully, Daylight Savings Time comes to an end early Sunday morning here.   Granted, many friends like the longer hours of daylight, but some do not.  

A friend requested something in black and white.   From a recent visit  to Coupland.   This seems suited for monotone treatment.

Three photographs from recent outings on the Blackland Prairie.   Farm country, friends.  Photos from Thrall, Taylor and Granger.  

A new Bed & Breakfast recently opened in Taylor.   The management knows how to use light to their advantage.   This one is from this evening.    The time after dark is often inspiring.
