Trying out another photo viewer plugin. This one is the NextGen gallery by Alex Rabe. If anyone happens to visit please let me know if the pictures make the page slow to load. Thanks.
The pictures were taken around where I live in a part of Chester County, SC known as Armenia.

I took these pictures during the recent storm in the Midwest. They were taken in Columbus, OH, West Carrollton, OH, and along I-75 from Dayton to Cincinnati.
It is quite a challenge to operate a big truck in these conditions safely, but I did and made it home in one piece and left no collateral damage behind me.
Some shots of the Rumford fireplace my son built in his new house. He built the house from wood that he cut and sawed himself. (No mortgage.) My son, Cliff, is a very good carpenter, builder and woodsman (not to mention a world-class calf roper).
Still testing my new photo viewer. This is easy and fun. Here’s a new album of some shots from the road.
Here is a photo album which makes use of a plugin called PicasaView that I am trying out. It also integrates well with the Lightbox 2 plugin. The pictures are some I took as I was passing through a small town in Texas. Click on the picture below to go to the album and click on the individual pictures to see the Lightbox 2 renderings. Pretty cool. Enjoy.
I travel a lot. Recently I took a trip along some back roads in Texas. The area I traveled through was a large chunk of territory from southwest of Fort Worth down to Houston. The first stop along the way was the small town of Tolar – home of a good little donut shop, the Tolar United Methodist Church, the Houston ranch, and not much else. The visit was interesting, though. I drove to the interior of the ranch where they are drilling for (and finding) oil. This was my first visit to an oil field and it was pretty neat. You can click on any of the pictures for access to my photo albums.
The next stop was Hico. I was passing through and the town looked so interesting that I had to stop and go back to take some pictures. I pulled over just outside of town in a wide spot and walked back. It was worth it. The town is full of beautiful old buildings, most of which have been or are being restored, and which are home now to some neat shops and restaurants.
I found out that the two heroes of the town are Cody Ohl, a six time world champion rodeo star, and Billy the Kid, alias Brushy Bill, who some claim lived in Hico and died there in the 1950′s. They have a statue of Billy in the town square.
Hico is one of those unexpected and delightful treasures that one can often find by traveling through the back roads of America.
