And across the pasture, the people in a mobile home were having a loud argument. It was so loud that maybe the sound waves of a earlier argument had knocked over the stones.

What used to be the school at Hart Camp, Texas.
Here's what the Handbook of Texas Online has to say about the place:
HARTS CAMP, TEXAS. Harts (Hart) Camp is at the intersection of Farm roads 37 and 168, north of Blackwater Draw, twelve miles south of Olton, and seven miles north of Spade in east central Lamb County. R. C. Hopping established the town in 1927 as a speculative venture, and by 1930 it had a school, a gin, a blacksmith shop, and two stores. Several businesses and a church were reported there in 1964, but by 1968 the school building was being used to store grain. The community was shown on county highway maps in the 1980s. The 2000 census reported a population of eight.
One gets the idea that the 2010 census won't even show eight residents.

Today, I started what I thought was an un-written-in journal. However, when I opened it, I saw that the first page was covered with doodles - including this little sketch. I can't deny that I drew it, although I can't recall when. But I do suppose that it came during a meeting when I had heard one buzzword too many!

We stopped for lunch in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, and while we waited for our (not very good) food, read through a tourist guide. That's when we learned about a tiny town south of Santa Rosa on the Pecos River. Usual story: the railroad went to Santa Rosa instead, and the place called Puerto de Luna got smaller and smaller.
The guide promised a scenic drive along the river. We had nothing but time, and so took the side trip to PDL, as it's known locally.

It was a cold and damp day at the writing retreat.
It was almost cold enough to not even go outside to take pictures....

PS - I owe 11 photographs to the blog, and will be diligent about getting caught back up. It is sort of astonishing how long it has taken to get everything back in order from the break-in.

This is from another in-progress project - last spring a friend and I went to Las Vegas and spent a couple of days photographing wedding chapels. I wonder how much demand there REALLY is for weddings conducted in Russian and Polish...but if that's what you need, the Hitching Post would be a really good choice.

Well, there are many things that are disturbing here (the shape of that incoming baby bottle for one!), so why do I mostly wonder just why that nurse's name is Brenda?

This little wood house is at the intersection of FM 1585 and FM 169; when I first noticed it several months ago, I vowed that I would be ready to take its picture the first time the light was good and there was no traffic behind me, so I could safely pull over.
Today was the day.
It worked out pretty well, except there was a truck behind me (I lost the bet that he was going to turn onto the busier road) and I had to drive almost all the way to Ropesville ("Ropes" in the vernacular) before I found a paved road that I could use to turn around. There were plenty of dirt roads but they were still pretty muddy from last week's storm.
I figure this shot cost me an extra ten miles - but give the way things are spaced out here, that's not really too much, I suppose!
