Texas Americana - Luling

Besides The Watermelon Thump, Luling offers some pretty enriching contributions to the American spirit. Check out these fanciful oil pump jacks. They went dormant for years because they weren't producing what they had been but now those few barrels a day really are adding up with the shortage. And they look so whimsical when you drive past them lining stretches of railroad tracks and fields of hay.

These pictures make me crazy jealous. It snowed here today.

That's a pretty little Southern Belle standing next to that last rig.

Ha! Those things are magestic (for some reason) on their own and now they are even better. And they chose insects... genius. However, to me they missed the most obvios. Where are the mantids? Maybe you can set the wheels rolling on that one.
