Windmills were a major reason for the development of Texas and a favorite for me to photograph when I spot an interesting scene. Love the foreground flowers. Outstanding John. #10707357

Love your POV and composition on this one, John! Most everyone had a wind mill here at one time but most are gone now or inoperative. There's one down the road that has morning-glory growing all the way to the top. Kinda neat when in bloom. #10716181
