I took a little excursion in the rain today.

Lake Hennessey panorama




Still pretty low in spite of the rain


This place is on the way to the lake. Getting more dilapidated every year.


But you can still see some of its former glory.

1. Nice.

I went to the grocery store in the rain!!!

2. Did you take pictures, though?

3. HA! No,

grumpy guy sorting onions discouraged me!

4. I like those.

I really like the parched ground.

And photo 2.

Neat structure. What is it? Or..what was it?

7. Parched ground is deceptive

It's been raining so "parched" ground was squishy.

The structures are part of an estate or farm or something. Someone still lives in the house behind the railing. The barn and an old winery (I think—I didn't post a photo of it) are across the road and near to falling down. Nothing, as far as I can see, has ever been done to any of the buildings in the thirty years I've been driving past them. There is no evidence that they are growing or raising anything, or making wine. It's a mystery.

5. Where are you, with iris already blooming and falling over?

That shot of the gate or portico, very evocative.

8. Love the gate

Looks so ancient.

9. I really like the colors, especially in N# 2.
