A tall tower with a large white sphere was out by the airport, and I think it is one of those doppler weather measuring equipment things.  It was way out past the parking lots. Pretty cool looking.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge – Water

Here’s my entry for Cee’s B & W Photo Challenge with the subject of ‘water’.

What we have here is a box of water. I freeze water to make ice in these plastic boxes. Then the next picture, is the frozen water, all chunked up (I use an ice pick).

Next is a river in Missouri, as seen from the window of a plane as we flew over it.

Last, are some bottles of sparkling, flavored water. These were on the shelf at the grocery store.

Back Where I Come From – Day 6

Back Where I Come From – Day 6

***

Thanks for hosting this fun challenge, Suzanne!

***

The question for day 6 of the challenge is:

6. Did your town have a river running through it?

My answer:

We have a little river which runs through town, and the State Park (Mackenzie).

Here’s some information about it I found on Wikipedia.

***

Two tributaries of the Brazos River wind through Mackenzie Park, which is collectively part of the rather extensive Lubbock Park system.[69][70] These two streams, (Yellow House Draw and Blackwater Draw), converge in the golf course, forming the head of Yellow House Canyon, which carries the waters of the North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River.[71]

***

I never knew any of this information, except for the name of Brazos.

When we were kids, we’d have picnics in the park by the river. It was, as I say, very small, so we could wade in the water, as it was only about as deep as our ankles. That was fun, and at the time I wasn’t afraid of fish. There were little fishies in that river! I sure wouldn’t do it today.
