The same only different

I intended to follow up with more of the potato story.  Oh but no. It’s funny how an unruly subject can interject itself at the most opportune time.  I must have needed a single image post. 

This one of my good friend Lindsey Enderby is from a couple of years ago.  I like it because it shows the bonhomie of this son of Gainesville, Texas.   Plus it reminds me of the iconic hat back and a lick of hair shot of Will Rogers, another cowpoke with a heaping measure of humor and kindness. 

Anyway, this one seems appropriate since Lindsey and his bride Nancy have just sold their cowboy emporium, Horse Feathers, and are now retired folks like some other people I know.  In truth this is a bittersweet moment since I along tens of thousands (I tend to inflate) of other strays first met Lindsey in the store and wound up as dinner guests at the Enderby homestead.

And where will I idle away my Saturday afternoons now?

  1. What a lovely shot! The image shows Lindsey's character, and the softness of the light on his hat gives it just the right amount of attention.

    Indeed, what will you do with your Saturday afternoons now? He will be missed downtown but surely, he will revel in his bride and homestead.

  2. Thanks Daryl. That was natural light inside a tiny adobe in Alcalde as I recall.
