The Home Town Face Daily Cap(s) (148)
Coming home from “the wedding” today, I finally took a few minutes to photograph a few old building facades I’ve meant to shoot for the past several trips through town. This establishment was located in Calvert, Texas
St. Paul’s Church of Christ, Marlin, Texas
Most of you know how I like the hand-done signs…notice there is no sidewalks to the door and you gotta love the patchwork shingles. Who wants to bet the BBQ is good? I think this was in/around Reagan, Texas….
Riesel, Texas…”We Fix Fl_ _ s”
Another Masonic Lodge (this one with bricked-in windows) to add to my clandestine photo collection of this organization’s place of congregation….
You’ve really got to go to a small town it seems to find a Rexall Drug store these days…Hearne, Texas
Hearne, Texas…but I’m not sure if this 98-year old business is still in business. One would figure they’d be open on a Sunday morning (but it is a holiday weekend…in a small town)
Old bricks give way to a more modern convenience…done without much historic preservation forethought – Hearne, Texas
The Grainy Daily Cap(s) (67)
A great old grain elevator in east Fort Worth, still in operation best I can tell as "Allied Mills, Inc./Wayne Feeds"...or at least the cars in the parking lot meant someone was there doing something
The elevator's backside (south facing side). This makes me wonder if the business name was planned to have 2 words with 5 letters each just so it could be painted on the silos
A great old painted sign on the north side gives the place some dated charm
A side entry that obviously is not used any longer except by maybe people with really long legs (love the completely different ornamental grilles on the doors)

Don't get dizzy looking up...one of my favorite downtown ("Uptown" actually) buildings in Dallas
The Daily Cap (26)
Is there not just something peaceful...about a reflecting sunset...on the simple architecture of the steeple...atop the Oak Ridge Baptist Church of Hudson Oaks, Texas?
The Daily Cap (12)
The early morning peeks over downtown Fort Worth on the historic First Christian Church (this is a way cool building...been in it, got the personal tour one afternoon just by dropping in on the staff and asking about the building); http://www.fccftw.org/
The Daily Cap (8)
Not many Texas Courthouses pose for a better picture than Denton County ( in Denton, Texas)...while standing tall and proud in an early morning fog
Morning light
Most regular readers to this blog know I am a bit bonkers about photographing sunrises and sunsets. So for a change in scenry, I happened across this early morning sunrise photo on Saturday while driving through Flower Mound.
Nothing like an inspirational glimpse at God casting His morning light on the steeple of His house. And I doubt He minds much with the red hawk sitting on the cross of His house of worship either.
Picture post
A week in bizarre review of random pictures….
A cold and windy Wednesday morning at Lewisville Lake
FD call reminded me of our trip
We did that trip last August. Deb & I drove to Philadelphia – she had a work conference – I went on into Brooklyn to deliver furniture and see FD and FSIL.
The FD took me to a way cool historic cemetery – Green-Wood – that she knew I would really like. She was right.
500,000 visitors a year; 7,000 trees; gardens; ponds; fountains; population is a non-complaining 560,000 folks founded in 1838.
This place even has a map!
Go if you can! Read More…
