A WHEEL NICE PLACE

My wife had to pick up her broken bike at Blue Line Bike shop and I just happened to see a 'wheel' nice chance to take a photo. Just as I was looking "a round" the place, this image 'spoke' to me. So, I put it "in gear" and snapped the image. Are you 'tired' of these puns? Well, 'cruise' on over to our host, Dragonstar, at http://www.blackandwhiteweekend.blogspot.com/ for other thoughtful images.

BELOW: The original meat counter adds a quirky feel to the place. This was once a local food store in the Heights.

IN MEMORY OF THE WHEAT CROP

Our first agricultural casualty of this terrible drought was reported this week by Reuter's News Service. The Texas Winter wheat crop is a near total loss. We provide 5 to 10% of the wheat grown in our country.

This is a phtoto of one of the other 560 species of grasses found here in Texas. I found it along the side of the road in Katy, Texas.

Thanks for visiting. Maybe we'll get rain soon.

SUMMER FUN AT NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS

New Braunfels, Texas is famous for the spring fed Comal River, the Guadalupe River, and the Schlitterbahn water park. I really enjoyed taking this photo. It conjures up all the memories of floating down a cool, shady river on a hot summer day. Plus, I like the texture variations of the trees with those smooth tubes.

MOTH WINGS

I found this moth on our back porch one night this week. It is the Giant Leopard Moth found in our area. It is actually black and white, so it was a natural choice.  We are celebrating Mother's Day here in the U.S. today, so please forgive me for this next pun....the only time I can say Happy MOTHer's Day. :-)
