Took these on our recent trip west. These shots features Notrees, Texas which is really little more than a wide spot in the road and a sign. As you can see sky watching is pretty easy to do in the Big Country.
Ok, for all of those who think Texas no trees that is correct. It is a little community west of Odessa.View around Notrees. Notice the pump jacks in the background. Notrees is in the middle of oil country.
Sign for Kermit and Mentone.Playing with m camera. Thought the reflection from the sun was cool.
I write about things I find interesting this include music, movies, cooking, religion, news and whatever else pops in my ADHD brain. As a my tagline says: "The musings of an ADHD mind."I'm never really sure what is will catch my interest.

LOL what a great name for a town. Great pictures. Hope you have a great week.
Those are interesting shots. Love the name of that place! I’ve driven across Texas and was very impressed by the big sky. It’s beautiful. I bet there are some awesome sunsets there. Greeting from CA.
I like that sign. I was once traveling in Arizona and there is a town called Why. I used to joke and say I wanted to live there so when people ask me where I live I could say Why.
Kathy: It is very appropriate for the area. Although it isn’t much of a town anymore.
Linnea: My header is one of those beautiful sunsets. It was taken on i-20 west of Abilene.
Ruth: No I think they are Yucca plants.
People with Cameras: There used to be a big tree behind the sign.
Ellen, NatureGirl, Nate, Guy, ilanadavita, bookbabie, Geoff, Birdfreak: TY
Connie: That is funny. There is a Truth and Consequences, NM.
AK: That is cool. I wish I had gotten a picture of the sign from Flat, Tx. So I could have a post for all those who think Texas has no trees and is flat.
Oh my … what an aptly descriptive name for this Texas town. Fun post … and I love the last shot too! As for your 2009 goals … I love #9, 5, 4, and 1 especially. I shared ‘intentions’ (preferring that word to resolutions) for 2009 at Sacred Ruminations a while back in a BYBS post methinks.
Hugs and blessings,

I like the one with the reflections. I collect pictures of odd signs and that town name certainly qualifies.
