I took a lot of pictures of last week’s Hill Country snow, but most of them were just documenting a rare event. I thought this one had a little more going for it.
The view helps explain the roadrunner’s expression in Friday’s photos.
Sunday Photos: What The Roadrunner Saw
I’ve been bouncing back and forth between these roadrunner photos, trying to get oriented with this one. Once I got my bearings, I really like it, but I’m not sure I could have sorted it out without some help. I probably would have come up with “a mailbox with a bird on top and a sculpture of grass next to it.”
On the other hand, nothing about the roadrunner’s any more odd than that scene he’s gazing at. It’s a good thing you documented the snow, because I’ll bet it’s gone by now.
I can see the mailbox and grass sculpture when I erase what I know about the scene and look with fresh eyes. It wouldn’t be any odder of a mailbox than some of the ones I see on our country roads. And you’re right about the snow being gone. It hung on in a few shady spots until the second day of above freezing temperatures but it’s a normal late winter scene out there now. It feels like early spring.
