Pleasure pier http://www.pleasurepier.com/ is built on the old Flagship Hotel pier in Galveston, Texas. This pier rivals Navy Pier in Chicago, or the Santa Monica Pier. Right on the Pier is the famous Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, if you are hungry! http://www.bubbagump.com/ There are snack shops, games, high and low thrill rides, and live music. Here are few photos from the pier. I hope you enjoy and find time to visit!
Bee On A Bottle Brush
Photo’s 2013 Albert Moyer, Jr.
Bee’s are our greatest friend’s, because they pollinate plants which keep us alive.
Protect them always!
Just to the North of Houston is a small town called Conroe. Conroe is home to Lake Conroe, one of the best fishing and recreational lakes about 40 miles north of Houston. Right off Hwy 105, in Conroe, is one of the best catfish restaurants in the state of Texas. This restaurant is called Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish. http://www.kuntrykatfish.com/
Not to be long on words, I will let the photos do the talking, but I can tell you this, you will not find better prices, and better catfish anywhere in Texas. The green tomato relish and hushpuppies are out of this world. Oh, and the waitresses and staff, fantastic!

I loved watching Captain Caveman!
This is an amazing macro photo of a ladybug. I really like how the photographer captured the dew droplet on the body.
