I love taking pictures. I have hundreds of photos, mostly grandchildren, but very few I would call great. This old windmill is one of my great photos. My husband and I were on a drive, so its exact location I do not know, as we were not real sure where we were at the time. I asked him to stop, so I could take the photo. The old windmill is not in use for watering livestock or for the remnants of a home that stood near by. I do not know the name of the tree and I have not seen it during the time I lived and traveled in New Mexico.
I was walking in the pasture at the new home we purchased upon moving to Texas. I saw this heart shaped beauty. I looked this “weed” up and the flowers are supposed to be circular. I have not seen a heart shaped flower since.
The unique characteristic of photography is it captures what goes through the lens, freezing the moment of time. Does time stand still, only in a photograph.

Nice. That windmill, does it have a function or is it just decorative? I’ve seen them in movies but I have no idea what they do. (Yes, I’m a city boy.)

The windmill did function to fill a water tank for the home, and water trough. At the time of the photo, the home was ruins, and there was no water trough for cattle. It sits a mile from any structure, so not decorative. The windmill is just forgotten.

That type of windmill pulled water up out of the ground.
