Friday Miscallany | Athens Texas Photographer

Can someone tell me how it is already mid October?!?!?!

Tonight we’re gonna travel down Historic Route 66 aka The Mother Road. I’m slowly processing the ‘fun’ images I captured back in early August when I took the ‘long route’ to Tulsa. I’m all about the backroads, some of my favorite locales for photo sessions are off the beaten path. Plus, after being stuck in 28 mph traffic tie-ups in the Norman area that morning, it was nice to not deal with interstate/turnpike traffic, being able to pull over when I wanted (which was quite often due to the sights), and not be in ‘auto pilot’ mode because of the lack of scenery. Sometimes taking twice as long to get somewhere is actually better … after all, aren’t vacations about relaxation and enjoyment, not to rush rush rush everywhere for just a while.

Okay, enough ramblin’ … y’all are here for the images after all

Just outside of Arcadia … for more details about this twist on classic Route 66 icons, read more here at Roadside America … I have more images, just haven’t processed them yet.

I saw several of these ‘advertisements’ on barns along 66 as well as near Tulsa while I was on the turnpikes …

A classic Oklahoma Route 66 establishment. I did u-turn to go back and photograph the sign … and then decided to be artsy with the mirror shot.
