Don's (not so) Weekly Photo

I do not always have a post to write, but I want to share my photos - so I started this weekly photo page.

​Just one photo each week. The photo may be new or it may come from my pile of favorites. A different photo will be posted every week. Drop by and check it out.

Weekly has become a bit more erratic, hence the new – more accurate  name.

At Least One on Every Ranch

This is the classic Aermotor Windmill - really not a mill at all, but rather a wind-powered water pump. These distinctive wind pumps were seen on ranches throughout the plains and deserts which made them a quintessential image of the American West. The first Aermotors were built in 1888; today the company is owned by a group of west Texas ranchers.

This Aermotor sits beside an old riveted iron storage tank. I tried to finish this picture to evoke a mood of the old west. Like last week's green tree frog, this photo was taken at the Brazoria National Wildlife Preserve.
