Split Tree - Sidewalk This tree was bifurcated by a lightning strike. The half lying on the sidewalk also obscured the stop sign, which kind of seems unnecessary in my opinion. Some countries don't have stop signs. Drivers simply pay more attention there, I suppose. Yashica-D TLR Fomapan 200 medium format
Water Moccasin (2) While in the Dallas area we visited a couple of parks. Didn't see a ton of wildlife but did come across this Water Moccasin hanging out right next to the boardwalk at the Heard Museum. I'm not sure why the head was so white like this.

Road Work 4 March 2024 64 of 366 Long shadows follow the workers during their task. I don't know what they're doing, but I know the noise is getting on my last nerve!
Time Marches On 1 March 2024 61 of 366 The shadows stretch across the green grass in the park like a huge sundial, announcing that evening approaches. Alas, it was only 16:37. Just as well, Daylight Saving time begins on the morning of the 10th.
Debris 22 February 2024 53 of 366 The construction project is nearly complete. It was supposed to be ready in 2021; therefore, no one will be held accountable.

A Drone and His Boy 29 January 2024 29 of 366 There's just something fascinating about aerial-self-portraiture.
Vintage 21 January 2024 21 of 366 I was surprised to find a 2013 Dom sold at Buccee's! Yes, you can get your vintage champagne while filling up and shopping for beef jerky and kettle corn.
Tioga United Methodist Church Services began in homes of the Shiloh community, two miles to the east of here. In 1887, the worshipers organized the Shiloh Methodist Church, with the Rev. Mr. Allen as pastor. After Tioga was founded, the congregation moved here and erected original building on this site in 1893. Additional rooms and facilities have since been added to the central structure. This church has faithfully served Tioga. One of its members, Olan R. Van Zandt, was a representative, then senator, in the Texas Legislature for 16 years, 1926-1942. (1976)
