Ride Along with Me on Monday's Country Back Roads


The roads I enjoy the most are the narrow ones....
 without a marked center line.

Camera beside me...
All I need to do is pick a spot
and park my truck.


Off in the far distance, I can see where oil is being drilled.


Zooming in...I see a metal barn, nestled in the trees.

I do love to catch the background in layers.
See how the colors change
 until they are almost the color of the sky.


Off to my left, I see what might have been a small home, built a very long time ago.


It appears to be boarded up....possibly now being used as a barn.

A new week is before us.
Make the most of it, dear readers.
Meggie Mac

Linking today with Tom, The Backroads Traveller
You won't be disappointed...Tom is a wonderful photographer.

St Michael Catholic Church for InSPIREd Sunday

 
While photographing the Veterans Memorial Baseball Park (my previous post), I saw St Michael Catholic Church in the distance.
 
You will remember what I wrote about Weimer...
a small town with a population of 2,000.
 
 
Originally, in 1888, St Michael Church was started as a mission.
The current building was built in 1913.
 
 
The European heritage of the towns' Czech and German immigrants,
is reflected in the Gothic Revival architecture.

It was a perfect day to photograph...
 
May you, my dear readers,
 have a Restful Sunday

For the Love of Baseball on Friday's Fences

 
Here is a small Texas town, population 2,000.... 
known for it's love of baseball !
 
 
There are no shortages of fencing to photograph at a baseball park.
 
 
A real tribute to our veterans......

 and the town's baseball history.
 
 
Each side of the entrance gates, has a mural painted directly on the wood fencing.

Lighting that soars high in the sky...
 for those perfect Texas evening summer games.
 
 
Another fence view, with Home Plate in the background.
 
 
Much to my surprise,
 one of my photos caught a baseball,
 left behind from a recent game.

Early Morning Sunrise for InSPIREd Sunday

 
The early morning light was trying to break through the clouds,
 when I first arrived at the Cedar Cemetery.
Setting high on a hill, the views of the countryside are spectacular.
 
 
As you can see, everything was in shadows.
 
 
There are many old markers and fences to capture in a photograph.

Including trees that have been there a long time.
 
 
Even though I came for the peace and solitude this morning,
 I did photograph a few of the older grave stones.
 
 
And the metal fences are picture perfect.
 
May your Sunday be filled with friends and family.

Snow on the Prairie for Friday Fences

C
 
During the hottest months of the summer,
you will find these wildflowers growing in masses,
 giving the illusion of a light dusting of snow.
 
Click HERE to read about "Snow on the Prairie Wildflower"
Despite the beautiful backdrop for a simple cedar post and barbed wire fence...
 these flowers have a milky sap that is irritating to humans, both to the skin and the eyes.
