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. #10707357Robert R. Goodman May 26, 2013

Great depth, comp, and scene, John! #10716162Denny E. Barnes May 30, 2013
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. #10716181Tammy Espino June 20, 2013
