A stand of trees in a field somewhere in Texas.

           A friend and I recently made a trip to Marfa, Texas to aid another friend; another story. We drove through the night to arrive in Odessa around 3. We stopped here to pick up a Budget truck in the morning. Not wanting to spend money and making it up as we went along we drove around scouting for a suitable place to throw hammocks up or sleep in the car. Before long we found ourselves crossing a cattle guard somewhere in the perpetual industrial zone of Odessa prompted by a stand of trees set back in a field. We found that the caliche road took us back to another paralleling with a pipe gate and this road lead through the stand of trees. My friend slept in the car; I slept in the trees. The night was frigid and the woods alive. These are few of the images I collected upon rising at dawn.
