Finishing Floydada And More Of Lubbock

I've managed to take a few photos around town. Sooner or later I'll post them here. There is still a lot of stuff from last year to do.




We are still with the old cars.




As I recall the weather was perfect for this event.


 The transition to Lubbock is unclear after all this time-- is this building, the one above, the last thing I photographed in Floydada? Or is it the shed below? I do not know!
 But I'm sure that the rest of this is in Lubbock.




Lubbock does as Lubbock is. And how is Lubbock? You don't want to know. But I'll tell you this: Lubbock is bone dry again, in the middle of a spreading zone of extreme drought. In fact, in my latest set of pics, I present evidence of that drought, in the form of vanishing playa lakes.  But by the time I get those pics posted we'll have had a thousand year flood. Well, probably not.




I think we were somewhere on East Erskine when I took these.

 We knew we'd find a place to sit.
 And a place to take a nap.
 Municipal drive?
Ash Avenue?




I really have a thing for junked cars. And that is the end of THIS photo series.

Floydada 2017: The Pumpkin Festival

We'd been to this festival before and I got plenty of pictures of pumpkins. What we were interested in this time were the old cars.




Alleys and automotive junk were good too.




Yes, there were plenty of old cars.




Classic cars!




Nice restoration jobs for the most part.




In my childhood, I saw plenty of cars like these in my hometown, and then they were new, or almost new. Yeah, I'm that old.




I'll have some more of these next time, and then back to Lubbock.
