The heat advisory has not been a good thing, especially with a 40-pound camera bag hanging off a shoulder. Having said that, some of you have noticed that the post have developed a more spacial distance between the postings. Most of you also know--especially the Canadians--that some of my extraordinary shots have come after extended spells of drought and I don't mean weather! So, while making a trip to the drugstore and the grocery store at the tail end of a dry spell, I had been waiting until the new,but old,sign at Love Field went back up following the renovation at the terminal buildings and the like. Surveying for parking places, angles etc.,etc., I turned down Maple Avenue to come back around into a left turn lane to get the Love Field shot when I spotted one of the city's new marketing campaign's big blue letters B and G in the driveway of a business. I've seen them in some unusual places but this one was a bit more odd. Parking in a lot across the street,walking across the street I encountered a guy from the new gym, who's driveway the letters were sitting. He explained that he had called the city and requested a set of the letters for the Grand Opening of the CrossFit Big D. The rest is history.Here are a couple of shots from the gym and the new, but old, sign at Love Field where Denton Drive and Mockingbird Lane cross. The sign is at the end of runway 13R for normal flight operations. It's about 26 or 27 degrees on the reverse when landing but is designated Left rather than right.

| Turning your world upside down in a BIG way. |

| Several sets of these letters can be found around the Metroplex. There is even one done in Rainbow colors for the Gay community in Uptown. |

| When the weather turns better, like November, I'll come back and get some good closeups. |
