This photo was taken by me at the Houston Arboretum. Many people confuse these for water moccasins or cottonmouths. This snake is harmless.

Magical Woman
Her hair is dark
Her eyes brown
She’s fabulous
To be around
Her skin is smooth
And her lips full
The brain she has
Is her best tool
When your’re down
She’ll lift you up
Inside you will bubble
Like Seven-Up
When she’s close
She feels so warm
Inside of me
I feel transformed
She’s a magical woman
That I know
For in my veins
Her love flows

The Octopus
Eight arms to catch prey
Silently hiding in reefs
Inks! He got away.

Stop The Loud Music and Pull Your Pants Up

I took this photo in Ville Platte, Louisiana along Main Street. It is a beautiful quiet little Cajun town. The people were fed up with loud car stereos and sagging pants. They passed a laws, and you now get a $250 bond, and trip straight to jail for violating either law. Every city should have this sign.

Texas Renaissance Festival

One of the more interesting places to enjoy a weekend in Texas is the Renaissance Festival located in Plantersville, Texas. This festival is held in the fall so the heat doesn’t kill anybody. When you enter the festival you enter another world. It is like a complete time warp. There are so many different things to see, feel, hear, and taste. My favorite is the men on horses doing live jousting. I could write so much, but I like to let people research on their own. For more information check out http://texrenfest.com/
Here are some photos I have taken at the festival. The characters and patrons are very kind and love to pose. Enjoy!
Angel’s Trumpet Flower

Here is another, no longer, unidentified flower. Per Ray Russel it is an Angel’s Trumpet. I saw this at a festival and said,”I have never seen it. I need a photo.” It’s pretty whatever it is. Post an identity comment if you know what it is. Thanks for posting the comment Ray.
