I wish this photo could've better captured the contrast between the white of the freshly-laid caliche road and the dark and cloudy western sky at dawn. Maybe one of these days I'll learn the supposedly idiot-proof settings on my camera. Seems to me as if Sunset works best for Dawn, though.
Taken just off of Hwy 70 on 6/28/07

Blue Sky, White Road
Dawn Grazers
The one looking at me was annoyed that I interrupted his early morning repast. It was still very dark because of the heavy cloud cover.
This one didn't seem to mind at all.
Taken 6/28/07 North of Pampa on Hwy 70
Sunrise Sprinkler
Pivot irrigation system backlit by a glorious Panhandle sunrise.
If you click on the photo and see the larger version, you will probably also notice the ubiquitous telephone lines marring the shot. I hate those things.

Windmill
This is one of the last few surviving local windmills made of wood. It was saved from the elements, restored and re-erected just outside the Roberts County Museum located in Miami, Texas.
It's not a mockingbird...
But around here it's a sin to kill a bull snake
They're not venomous, but they can be aggressive if bothered and annoyed. They eat mice and rats and even rabbits if they can catch them, but they're best at consuming and thereby thinning out the local population of rattlesnakes.
This was taken last summer on a Roberts county road very near where I was raised. This was a healthy creature, probably six + foot long.
