Sunflowers, Closer Looks

 Trying to zoom in here...

Meanwhile, death to Vladimir Putin, and all who support/admire/enable him. I think it's OK to say that. If wishes were wings, etc. And I only named one name. The rest is a matter of conjecture, isn't it? Surely, we can ALL agree that Putin deserves a firing squad. Or a noose.

 So, now, after some delay, these closer looks, into the past, continue.

And more!

One searches for the hidden meaning, that MUST be concealed in such things.

 Quite chilly here this morning! In the past, a snowfall in mid-April has not been an unusual event, followed the next day by heat, high winds and blowing dust by the afternoon. It's really, really, FLAT around here, and we're about 3000 feet above sea level, which makes for a strange climate. 

I've just recalled the big small house revolution in Spur, Texas. I have not heard much about it. Not in years. I wonder how that's working out? I guess I'll never know because I don't intend to go back there. That's one of many places I've scratched off my list of destinations, for a number of reasons.

 Nice and cool this morning but dust is inevitable. Not a snowball's chance of rain. 

I'm pretty sure now that these are photos taken in Plainview, because I recognize these monuments. I wonder how Plainview is doing these days? Not that I really care.

 It is nice and cool this morning! It was not so bad yesterday, with not a lot of wind by our standards, and very little dust in the air. Maybe someday, before the end of this decade, it will rain! At least by the end of the century... maybe.

Same location. I know, sights like these will make viewers eager to visit! "Oh my God! Pack up the kids, Thelma! We have GOT to visit Lubbock, Texas, and all the little towns around it! Forget about the beach! Stuff the mountains! We're on our way to the flatlands of TEXAS!!"
