Two homeless men are pictured outside the warming center tonight at Taylor’s Saint James Episcopal Church. When this was taken the temperature was in the mid-20s, continuing to drop. The warming center is overseen by the Taylor Center for Assistance and Navigation (Taylor CAN), a group helping those in need. Their work matters. The church has served Taylor since the early-1890s. 
A thick layer of fog settled into Taylor this morning. This is a scene from Murphy Park. Temperatures are in the 60s this afternoon, but a powerful cold front awaits us this weekend. 
A somewhat peaceful landscape seen earlier this evening while in the Granger area. The clouds were beginning to gather, with a temperature around 60 degrees. Much colder temperatures, combined with some level of moisture are expected this weekend. Right now, the forecast calls for a low of 10 degrees on Sunday. That may not seem chilly to friends in other areas, but some folks here might have a different thought. 
The late-afternoon light caressing this stretch of road is the only reason for this post. Sometimes it’s simply about light. The location is a a city park in Georgetown. 
From around the Georgetown square tonight. A Waxing Crescent moon, at 10.7% visibility, hovers above in two photographs. Just light in the last two, including the stained glass windows of First Presbyterian Church. 
Another windmill, but one encased in cool blue light. One of many photographed, this one east of Taylor, close to Thrall. From tonight.
Photographs taken this afternoon during the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday observance in Georgetown, Texas. A march from the Georgetown square led to a program at Macedonia Baptist Church. This annual event is coordinated by the Georgetown Fellowship of Churches. 
From an outing this evening near Granger, Texas. The fence posts were the original thought, but the stream below pulled this together. Time of day is important. In the middle of the day this is a pretty mundane scene, but it improves near day’s end. Time of day matters. 
Saturday afternoon was devoted to covering a Granny Basketball matchup , the Texas Fire Ants team taking on members of the Georgetown Police Department at East View High School. The game benefits the Carver Center for Families. Please click on the link for more about this group. They’re good folks. The Fire Ants team is comprised of senior ladies, some in their 80s. Some of the police officers wore a band connecting their arms in order to create a more equitable matchup. The ladies in red are the Sun City Georgettes, there to perform and help cheer on the competitors. It was bunch of fun. The Fire Ants won, 55-47. 
As usual, no need to elaborate here, just photographs taken during walks this week in Taylor.
