I walked under an art piece that was full of broken mirrored glass. Suddenly, the idea for this image popped into my head.

Niko Niko’s is the best Greek restaurant in Houston in my opinion. My favorite location is located in downtown Houston’s Historic Market Square. This location has a dog park, outdoor dining area, and a cool park for relaxing. There are movie nights, bike meets, music nights, and FANTASTIC Greek food! My favorite dish hands down is the Gyro. If you travel to Houston,Texas stop by Niko Nikos. I promise you will say,”Opa!” For more information check out http://www.nikonikos.com/

One of the best times of year in Texas is Spring. The temperatures are mild and the wild flowers are in bloom. This was taken in Brenham, Texas. Brenham has some of the best bluebonnets and is home to Blue Bell Ice Cream.

Photography is one of those things that is very user controlled. If you have the worst camera, but you understand technique, you can take some excellent photos. Digital SLR’s are awesome, but you do not always need one. Here are some site links to better photography.

Excitement, Celebration, Romance, Love, Mexican Food, and Margaritas! These are the many things that come to mind one thinks of the San Antonio Riverwalk. The Riverwalk is a series of canals created by lock and dams along the San Antonio River. It is a place that holds history, beauty, and adventure. The Riverwalk is bustling year round. My favorite time is Christmas when it is lit up with twinkling lights for miles. If you’re looking for a beautiful place with history, culture, photographic opportunities and friendly people, visit the San Antonio Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas.

This gator is barely,”Head Above Water.” I took this photo at Brazos Bend State Park in Texas. This park is loaded with BIG gators.  I estimate this bad boy to be 11 to 13 feet and probably anywhere from 400 to 700 lbs. This is also known as a Cajun Yard Dog in Louisiana.
