No, the Floydada Pumpkins is not the name of a high school football team. Actually, the little town of Floydada puts on an annual Pumpkin Festival! They have a parade, and a street fair, with lots of food and the event attracts a lot of people from this area. This time it attracted us! My wife and I visited and looked the place over. We had some good tamales and popcorn. I took a lot of pics, not all of them were of pumpkins.
And the local high school football team is named the Whirlwinds. I see nothing wrong with something like Killer Pumpkins, though. As usual, I will post the "impressionistic" stuff first:
And here are a few more-- I've got lots of pics and will spread them over several days!
Let's have more pics of Lubbock!
I was amazed to see a field of corn. Cotton is the norm.
... but it's a waste of my time and energy. Other people do that much better. I've got links at the bottom of this page, to sites that do a much better job than I can of ranting, and explaining the obvious. Instead, I'd just like to put up more pics I've taken around town. I've got a mix of color photos and black & white.
I'll have more of these in future posts. I like to think that my photos go straight to the heart of things. You might ask: "What things??" That's a reasonable question. I'd tell you the answer, except that I really despise metaphysics.
... and believe me, I could have taken many, many more. They really have a lot of stuff.
The last pics were taken in a simulated frontier village. What was different about that exhibit, you could actually walk into the buildings and you were not forced to stay behind ropes. Of course, they had security cameras.
I'm just trying to get all the pics up. I'd like to move on the the Knight's Inn section.
