Two Bucks Rutting – A Haiku

Head to head antlers

Knocking, twisting, and cracking

All to get some doe

Recently the band I play with had the privilege of playing the 33rd Annual Medina Lake Cajun Festival in LakeHills, Texas. The festival was well-managed and full of fun festive people. We had a great time! Here are some photos I took at the festival. Even though there is a drought that has caused a 97% reduction in lake water, the party is still happening.

Philadelphia has their LOVE art and it is very popular for photography. I am very proud that Houston, one of the fastest growing cities in America, now has its own art too. Our art piece is much bigger than Philadelphia. Everything is bigger in Texas!

WE LOVE HOUSTON

During my bike ride today, I noticed over three miles of trash along the bayou from heavy rains this weekend. It appalls me to hear people complain about oil companies, yet they don’t take time to throw away their own trash. This trash is polluting the globe at a phenomenal rate.  If I am correct, plastic takes over 80 years to degrade. People take your trash to the trash can! Stop ruining our waterways!

Yesterday I went to our church’s first ever doggy day service. There were hundreds of dogs to take photos of all around the field. My eye caught this bulldog sticking its tongue out, so I waited patiently until for this photo opportunity.

A Beautiful Cicada

These beautiful Cicada’s are so rare in Houston these days. It was nice to see one this evening and have him/her so gracefully pose for a photo shoot.

When I stumbled across this tree on the internet my initial reaction was,”Wow! Majestic.” I am just always thrilled by all the amazing things our world has to offer. Here is the Awesome Banyan Tree.

This is actually an outdoor shelter that I stumbled across while walking a trail. It is not a very good one, but some protection is always better than no protection from the elements.

While walking along a trail I notice this really insteresting looking bark pattern that I have never seen before. I do not know what tree this is, but it has colorful bark. Perhaps one of you will identify this tree.
