The afternoon was spent experimenting with a new-found setting on the big lens of the camera and a parking lot that is packed with flower beds of Red Yucca blooming. A Serendipity find.
Weather update for this weekend: 89 to 48 on Monday. That is a high today and a low beginning on Monday after 1-3 inches more of rain. The roller coaster in the sky overhead is on the move. It's Springtime in Texas.
Buc-ee's is now a big bucks employer as it is now being reporting at $18 and change minimum wage at this super store of on- the- road travel stops. You have never seen as many gas pumps in on location and inside you would think that you had stepped into a Walmart in square footage, more if you add the food service section. They hold some records, folk's.
Had a nice chat with a mural artist that has been painting in Deep Ellum since 1980s. He was telling me that he had just finished a mural on the back of Rudolph's Meat Market that has been operating since the1890's from the same location. Great family, too.
Paula Lambert has been making Mozzarella cheese just down the street from Rudolph's. Paula is such a nice lady. And----her cheese is out-of-this world, no kidding. Two stops on Elm street and you could have one heck of a dinner party that everyone would like.
Deep Ellum has changed a great deal since 2001, but overall, it's still a great entertainment district of historic significance. It's been a while since I have photographed there. In the past it was during the Arts Festival. It was the hat that the mural artist was wearing today that got my attention, asking him if he remembered when they painted the tunnels in Deep Ellum before Dart filled them in for the first of two Deep Ellum train stations. The muralist had abstract paint colors allover. One of my favorite designs!
