When We Die
They say I am too low,
I say they are too high.
One thing is certain.
The grave is waiting,
When we die.

Huntsville State Park Nature 2017
Posted: October 18, 2017 in PhotographyTags: Digital photography, Huntsville State Park, Huntsville Texas, macro photo, Texas State Parks, Wildlife
I find it so relaxing to take photos of wildlife and visit them out in their home far away from the city. I also enjoy the flowers and other things like moss and bryozoans floating in water. Huntsville State Park has been a favorite place of mine for many years. Here are a few photos I shot recently in the park. I hope you find them inspirational and decide to do your own exploring and photography.
I recently experienced the fine tastes of Malaysian cuisine in the Houston Galleria area. I had nothing less than an excellent experience at Satay Malaysian Restaurant. The service and food were outstanding. Here are a few photos of the wonderful food I enjoyed.

Not long ago, I made a stop at Govinda’s Vegetarian Restaurant. The food is served buffet style and the atmosphere is casual. The location is right on sight of a Hare Krishna temple which you can visit and learn about ways that may be different from your own. My experience was excellent! From the food and it’s health properties, to touring and learning about Hare Krishna’s. My favorite hands down was the Mint Ginger Lemonade! Oh, my! It is excellent! Here are a few photos and a link to the restaurant. http://govindashou.com/#menu

I stepped outside the other night after Hurricane Harvey and suddenly something flew by me. I thought it was a bat because of the five to seven inch wingspan. I followed it and found it to be a moth. After further researching, I learned it was a Black Witch Moth. They tend to be natives of Central America and Mexico, so I find it cool to see one. This is my first sighting ever.
In European folklore, moths were regarded as witches. Not a big stretch. Witches are creatures of the night. Moths are creatures of the night. Witches can transform themselves…. Moths can transform themselves (metamorphosis)…. Witches fly. Moths fly. Witches have long noses. Moths have long noses.
–John Himmelman, in the book, Discovering Moth
Good luck, bad luck, whatever. I find it quite beautiful.

Sandwiched between highs
The rain poured for many days
Leaving destruction.

Hurricane Harvey Flood Houston, Texas 2017
Posted: August 27, 2017 in PhotographyTags: Digital photography, flood, Houston, Hurricane, Hurricane Harvey, Photographer, Texas, Tropical Storm
I am a native Houstonian of 48 years. I have never seen damage like what I have witnessed on the Texas Coast and in Houston, Texas from a Hurricane. I had some scary moments taking these photos. Our schools are closed for a week, our airports are closed, traffic is two-way on one way freeways, many people are in desperate and life-threatening situations, and we have 20 more inches forecast. This will cause damage for months to come on a financial level. These photos were taken in some of the highest sea level points in Houston. May God protect everyone and bring us all together! It is times like this that we realize we are all human.
