Powering Young Minds

These windmills are not technically in Lubbock, but are actually in a small town about 15 minutes away (where the aforementioned race took place on Saturday). These two windmills, plus another that was behind where I was standing, provide electricity for the town's schools.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

The entire cast of the play onstage toward the end.

Intermission

Every year in Lubbock, there is a free Shakespearean play put on in a city park, appropriately entitled "Shakespeare in the Park." This weekend, the citizens of Lubbock were treated to A Midsummer Night's Dream in our very nice (and relatively new) ampitheatre.

Race Day

The finish chute had been taken down, but the clock was still running after a 10 K on Saturday.

After the Storm

I never get tired of taking pictures of the sky. This is right after a storm ended.

Lunar Eclipse

So this is the very end of our lunar eclipse this morning. Unfortunately, I have a hard time holding the camera still! Hence the reason there are three moons!

We were out running for most of the eclipse, and I didn't have my camera with me. But it was pretty cool.

All Serene

But not for long! Students and college football will be returning soon.

What?

I think it's supposed to be a tornado, possibly in a nursery.

And another one.

Clouds

The lack of mountains (and small numbers of trees) does allow for a magnificent view of the sky.

If only.

I think I've mentioned before the lack of mountains around Lubbock. But, as also mentioned, it is worth the drive from time to time.

Hard-Working Machines

So I happened to see the Weather Channel a couple of mornings ago, and it was only 7 AM (Central time) and already every city listed on the ticker was over 75 degrees. So I suppose it's been a hot week everywhere.

Good Morning

This is more my husband's typical breakfast, actually.

Good people to chat with

A picture of authors in Barnes & Noble.

Still no luck.

I think the problem is with my computer, even though I would like to blame blogger.

Three tries, no luck.

Try back tomorrow. :(

Trying to get a story

Yes, I'm afraid it will be variations on a theme for a few days... three different television stations turned up for the Harry Potter release at Barnes & Noble.

Book Seven

The newscasters found quite a large audience at the release party for Harry Potter yesterday.

Gone.

Empty buildings tend to weird me out a bit.
