I took this photo in Ville Platte, Louisiana along Main Street. It is a beautiful quiet little Cajun town. The people were fed up with loud car stereos and sagging pants. They passed a laws, and you now get a $250 bond, and trip straight to jail for violating either law. Every city should have this sign.

I took this photo at Buffalo Bayou Park in Houston. It is a cool cube art piece made totally out of pvc pipe.

One of the greatest cities in America for traffic, fat people, pollution, and fake people. Laughs! This is my home town Houston, Texas.

One of the more interesting places to enjoy a weekend in Texas is the Renaissance Festival located in Plantersville, Texas. This festival is held in the fall so the heat doesn’t kill anybody. When you enter the festival you enter another world. It is like a complete time warp. There are so many different things to see, feel, hear, and taste. My favorite is the men on horses doing live jousting. I could write so much, but I like to let people research on their own. For more information check out http://texrenfest.com/

Here are some photos I have taken at the festival. The characters and patrons are very kind and love to pose.  Enjoy!

Here is another, no longer, unidentified flower. Per Ray Russel it is an Angel’s Trumpet. I saw this at a festival and said,”I have never seen it. I need a photo.” It’s pretty whatever it is. Post an identity comment if you know what it is. Thanks for posting the comment Ray.

This is a prickly pear cactus photo I took at Guadalupe River State Park in Hunt, Texas. I might add that the fruits and cactus are delicious. Watch for rattlesnakes.
