Texas Firebush

It’s the one in the middle.  Hummingbirds and butterflies love it.

Every January, I cut it back to knee-high to keep it compact and healthy.  Every summer it grows back even bigger.  We’ll see if it gets taller than the house next year!

Alfred Hitchcock?

At the parking lot for the bridge to Mexico.

A pretty good flock of cowbirds.  They like to stand around in the shade of the parked cars.  They also like the granaries in the area.  Bits get spilled as the grain is transferred to and from the silos.

The car

It’s a 1937 Chevrolet.

It matches the one I found on the internet that just sold for $10K (I’m surprised it didn’t sell for more.)

(Not my photo.)

… except the car in my photo looks to be in better shape.  We can tell it was driven to the parking lot where it sat yesterday, by the bugs on the windshield.

There are photos of the interior, engine, and undercarriage of the one on the internet if you want to check out the state of automotive technology in 1937.  The engine sure looks simple.
