A Rainbow in Thrall

As rainbow photographs go, these are fairly pedestrian, but they’re sure hard to pass up. .  This one appeared while motoring along a major highway between Taylor and Thrall.  As most know, these things don’t stay around long.   By the time the Fireman’s Hall photo was taken, the rainbow moseyed on.   There were even a few drops of rain.

A Church Bazaar in Granger

A collection of  photographs taken on Sunday during the Fall Bazaar at Saints Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church in Granger, Texas.   It’s quite an undertaking.  Many of the folks overseeing the smoking pits were there overnight, getting little or no sleep.   Kitchen workers preparing side dishes arrived before 4a.m. on Sunday.  That huge smoker in the opening photo was built by the church members shown.   Attendees could get to-go plates, lining up outside well before the official starting time of 11a.m.   Many chose to dine inside, visiting with friends and family.   By evening, the cleared dining area was transformed into a dance venue with music provided by Fritz Hodde & The Fabulous Six.  

Tonalities

Color photographs  weren’t  common fifty-plus years ago.  We presented our work in black-and-white.  It still resonates.  These photographs from tonight, are offered in both color and b/w.   Does anything work?

First Friday on the Square

Some photographs from a performance by “Not Past 11,” an 18-member  band that puts on a wonderful show.  These free First Friday concerts held on the Williamson County Courthouse lawn are hosted by the Georgetown Beard Club.  Two more First Friday concerts are scheduled for October and November.   It’s a lot of fun.   The French Bulldog was celebrating his 3rd birthday with a dance with her human.

From the Rookery

The rookery at Taylor’s Murphy Park continues to resonate with this photographer.   Some photographs taken on a quiet evening this week.   These migratory birds will soon leave their temporary home.   They’ll be missed by some of us.
