I was with Jack Horne at his ranch near Coleman, Texas and we stopped to talk with a friend of his. I thought two pickups stopped with drivers talking would make a good painting so I got out to take pictures when several horses ran up and tore into the feed sacks in the truck, stealing the feed that was intended for Jack's Cattle!

The Hyde Park Fire Station is located at 4301 Speedway in Austin's Hyde Park Neighborhood and was built in 1929. A threat to close this Station was met with a strong protest and lead to the formation of the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association which became a leader in the Historic Preservation movement in Austin. We raised our children in Hyde Park so I just had to include this Station in my Fire Station Calendar!

Bobwhite Quail usually have at least one of the Covey keeping watch from somewhere with a good view to watch for danger. If you see a Bobwhite perched in plain view you can usually figure that the rest of the Covey is close by. Many years ago we raised Bob Whites and I took hundreds of reference photographs!

This is the swing on our front porch and my normal morning routine is to step out of the front door and look at the sunrise.
