Tee time...

We've been lucky in our area of the state. The "flooding" sign, while it was out, it wasn't blocking the road.
Hope you and yours are safe...

Happy Friday!

My church, the Kyle United Methodist Church, is building a new fellowship hall. A few weeks ago there was a groundbreaking ceremony where they put this cross to mark where the new building will reside. It'll connect to the "old" church. It's going to be fantastic! I thought I'd share with a photo.

Caught one



I had heard of this exercise thing before... but I never saw it in action. They call this jogging. I say... good for them.

Fenced-Flowers?

Are wildflowers really wild if they reside behind a fence?
Hmmm...ponder that.

Happy Monday.

Crazy Week...



It's been a crazy week.. I won't go into it. Here's a few photos you'd probably like to see....

First.. ever seen a tractor doin' 65 on the highway?




Second... If you know a frog looking for a new pad... send them to Kyle.

Thanks for your patience.

Dashboard

I was driving home down FM150 and thought this would make a good photo. Guess what? It did.

Aw..

OK.. I've not gotten a comment for a few days.
You like flowers..don't you?
:)

This ROCKS!

Ever wonder what a pile of rocks looks like up close? Wonder no more.

House...Home....Hello.


I pass this house every now and again... I've always liked it. Don't know a thing about it.... other than it's really interesting to me.
Hope you like it.

A Boatload of Books


I wandered into the Kyle Community Library last Wednesday just because I'd never been there. Pretty nice sized library for a town the size of Kyle. I walked out with library cards for me, my wife and 3 year old and a few books.

I'm not sure why they chose to put a big boat in the parking lot with a banner... but I guess it's more on point than a giant gorilla at an auto-mall.

Something cool I found was they have a pretty popular Summer Reading Program. Neat.

Happy Thursday.

Big Mother of a Shopping Cart

On A Clear Day...


Let's take a little break from HEB shots for a day (Yes, I do have a few more). I've never lived in a city with so many water-towers. I am willing to bet there are more than 10. So... I call this photo "On A Clear Day You Can See From One Water Tower To The Next"

Hope you like it.

Part of the "Plus!"

Since HEB Plus! opened Friday, I'm kinda hanging with the theme. This is part of the cool new feature that makes it a "Plus!" and not just a grocery store. This is a little sample cooking station. They made these nice fish tacos that my wife tried... (I'm not a fish person)

Happy Sunday.

on FIRE!

This is a mariachi band that played the HEB Plus! Grand opening. Marachi's En Fuego out of Austin. If you click the photo you can go to their Web Page...

You should now all learn how to grito (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grito_de_Dolores).
It's customary.

HEB Plus! Opened Today!


So... the new HEB Plus! opened today at 6:00a.m. My wife and I were invited to the opening Gala last night. It was fun... we brought the kids... good times. My daughter was so excited to see H E Buddy (the grocery-bag mascot of the store pictured here) but when she actually saw the bag (are bags men or women? Gender non-specific I guess) she was a little afraid. It IS a 6-foot bag.

Anyhow.. we entered into a drawing where the grand prize was a 37" Flat Panel TV. We didn't win that... My name was called, though, for 4th prize! I am going to be the proud owner (I'm picking it up in a few hours) of a Rattan Resin Wicker 4-piece Set consisting of a lovseat, table and 2 chairs. Whoop.

Happy Friday.

Oh please let it be for Meeeee


This may not look like much right now, but this will be the new Wells Fargo bank in town. Why does that excite me so? Well, the fine folks at Wells Fargo corporate e-mailed me a few months back after seeing my photos on Kyle Daily Photo and Flickr and asked me to take some shots of "historic" places in town for a mural to be painted on the wall of this building.

I sent them the stuff. I haven't heard anything... so I'm patiently waiting. Wow... I may have a mural thanks to Kyle Daily Photo.
Neat.

So... wondering if any other Daily Photo folks have gotten work published because of their posts here?

Forgive Our Furtherance


There's a lot planned for the downtown area of Kyle, Texas. While having a great lunch at Pizza Classics yesterday (They've got an awesome lunch buffet by the way) I chatted up the owner about the changes being made around the 'ol town square. Seems they're building median strips on the side streets and they'll be doing some beautification in the way of lampposts, benches, trees and the like over the next few months.

I posted a photo of some of the construction last month. If you click on the photo you'll go to that post.
Happy Wednesday!

Four Way?


Get your mind out of the gutter... it's a repair shop at the corner of a 4-way stop.
Looks like a nice place to sit and wait for your car to get tune-up.

I just found out that the business strip across from this place will be torn down and a CVS Pharmacy is coming in.. I'm not sure how I feel about that. The strip has a gas station, 3 restaurants (only one of which I'll actually miss) and a video store.

I'll have to take photos of them for posterity sake...

I call this one "bee" mine.
Not cheesy at all...huh?

She loves me...

I don't know what it is... must have been the rain from the last few weeks. I've getting some GREAT flower photos. Happy First of the month.
