Lubbock's Avenue G

Avenue G could be a tourist destination. You could pack no more than what a typical homeless person could carry and sleep in an alley. During the day you could roam around examining walls and doors and windows and cracks in the sidewalk. It's all a matter of scale. LSD might help.

Things To See On Avenue G


 A railroad track, click clack, click clack.



 Plenty of wires up in the sky!

 My wife spotted this lone cotton plant, growing near the curb. Who knows how it got there, or how it managed to survive.

More From Avenue G















All of these things seem to be self-explanatory. More to come.

Avenue G! Gee! Who woulda thunk it??










 

Lubbock's Avenue G, Near Broadway

It was very warm yesterday. After church, my wife and I made a little excursion to an area downtown where I had wanted to take photos earlier, but I didn't then have a camera with me. This time I took my nice digital camera but the darn batteries were dead. Fortunately, I had my cellphone. So at some time in the future we will return and I will take better photos. In the interim, these can be considered "studies". There's a lot to photograph! This will take up several installments.














From yesterday's heat, we have shifted to clouds and wind and cold. Tonight I will have to protect plants from freezing. It is always like this here; weeks of increasing warmth in early Spring, everything at last turning green, and then a late freeze to kill it all off again. Winter gives us one, final, slap in the face. But it might not be a hard freeze, so the setback should not be severe. Most of what my wife and I planted can be protected, and should survive.
