Being a musician and a lover of music it always gave me a desire to tour Graceland.  Elvis transformed music as we know it today. Elvis paved the way for rock n roll.  Elvis is the King Of Rock N Roll!

Perhaps more stars will create museums such as this, because Graceland is truly amazing. For more information on Graceland visit this link http://www.elvis.com/graceland

Here are some photos I took while touring through Elvis’s Graceland. I hope they inspire you to make a trip.

In San Antonio, Texas. there is a place that is so Japanese that you might think you are in Japan. It is Sunken Gardens Japanese Tea Garden located in Brackenridge Park. This park is also home to the San Antonio Zoo.

The park is quiet and lush with exotic vegetation and plants. There is a pavilion and beautiful waterfall within the gardens too. For more information check out http://www.saparksfoundation.org/japaneseteagarden.html

Here are some photos I took while touring the garden. I hope they inspire you to visit this wonderfully, beautiful place, and best yet, it is free.

Posted: June 26, 2013 in Poetry

It’s so amazing how something simple as pepperoni can become a haiku. I was making an Italian sandwich when this came to mind.
