This cool little ball is located off Allen Parkway in Houston. I took this photo to capture the rainbow of color from the sun’s rays.

The Trail

Winding through the woods

A dirt path made for people

Much for eyes to see

I took this photo at the Houston Arboretum. You know a lot of times people worry about how they will be sustained. Look at all this food for the birds in this beautiful photo.

Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

I took this photo in Studewood Park in Houston. The metal art piece has even been used in the former Geffen Recording Artist band Galactic Cowboys video. I will include the video for those who want to see it.

Fire Hydrant

I sit silently

Pressure inside for release

Life saving water

I took this photo in Beaumont, Texas. This is the world’s largest fire hydrant.

Brown Anole

Posted: May 2, 2013 in Photography, Reptiles

I am thinking this is some kind of Anole from a foreign land, or someone’s pet lizard escaped. I took this photo on my window ledge. I have never seen them before in Houston until the last year or so.

Anybody know what it is?

Updated: I found the answer it is a Brown Anole common to Florida with isolated populations in Texas.

This photo was taken at my parent’s home awhile back. This is a bottle brush, and I love their vibrant red colors.

One of the best smelling and most beautiful plants is a plumeria. I took this photo at my parent’s house several years ago. Flowers die, but photos are forever.

Small Brown Frogs

I am not sure what kind of frogs these little guys are, but I was really impressed at how they camouflage. They may be some type of wood frog. If you know, please share their name in a comment. Look closely at the photo and you will see two of them.

I took this photo at the Houston Arboretum.

Coral Snake

Posted: May 2, 2013 in Photography, Reptiles

The rule of thumb for avoiding a poisonous coral snake is RED touch YELLOW kill a fellow, RED touch BLACK friend of jack. This referring to the bands on the snake. As you see in this photo it is red touch yellow. A big four to five foot long coral snake. Personally, I find them relatively harmless and reclusive. If you get bitten by a coral snake, you were holding or molesting it.

I took this photo at the Houston Arboretum. He was on the run when he sensed my presence.
