Ice cream truck in the park was taken at Herman Park Houston. The hot Houston summers bring a longing for sno cones and ice cream.

Diamond Back Rattlesnake

Thank heavens this was taken at the Houston Zoo, and this rattler was behind glass. He even looks mean! These snakes are so deadly, and if not deadly, they will leave scarring devastation. When in Texas tread lightly in the wild, and always be on the look out.

A Costa Rican friend sent this photo to me. The pink necked green pigeon is the most vibrant and colorful of all pigeons, and can be found in Southeast Asia.
The Girl Who Sang
I met a girl who sang a lot.
Her mouth was like a big ole pot.
When she opened wide,
Her eyes popeyed.
Reminding me of kumquats.

This Is It- Soul Food

When I am having one of those days were I feel grain, nuts, fruits, yogurt, and salad are not going to fulfill my hunger, I head over to THIS IS IT SOUL FOOD restaurant.
THIS IS IT cooks a variety of dishes that will fill a stomach to satisfaction, and make a heart feel as warm as when momma says,”I love you.”
My favorite combination is oxtails, candied yams, cabbage, and bread pudding for desert. I can never go wrong. You will never go wrong either, if you enjoy the flavors of Houston’s THIS IS IT. For more information, a menu, or history, visit http://www.houstonthisisit.com/

Biscuits and Gravy

My stomach sent a message of hunger to my brain and the first thing I thought about was biscuits and gravy. I don’t have them, nor are they available at the moment, so I decided to write a Haiku and imagine them. I hope you enjoy the Haiku.

Black Pepper Gravy.
Hot, Fluffy, Buttery Taste.
So Delicious!

I was face to face with this Barbary Sheep, also known as Aoudad at Nature Bridge Wildlife Park http://wildliferanchtexas.com/ It is a fantastic wildlife park allowing animals to freely roam, and come up to you if they wish. It’s one of my favorite places to shoot photos of wild animals.

While camping in Huntsville State Park, I failed to close my vehicle’s door. A squirrel went in and helped himself to a Nature’s Valley Cinnamon Granola Bar.
