In Texas there is nothing better than a sweet juicy piece of watermelon on a hot summers day. My favorite melon comes from Hempstead, Texas at Dilorio’s farm.
This photo was taken right outside the farmer’s market.
This photo was taken inside. Yum!

Cock-Of-The-Rock
Posted: May 31, 2013 in Birds, PhotographyTags: Andes, Bird, cock of the rock, Digital photography, Peru, Photography
As a young boy, I always thought this bird had a strange name. You know a cock to be a rooster, and then learn a slang term for the word cock, and it all seems so strange.
Whatever the case, the bird itself is very cool looking and one of my favorites. I believe it is geographically located to Peru and the Andes Mountains.

Barton Springs Pool Austin,Texas
Posted: May 31, 2013 in Photography, TravelTags: Austin Texas, barton springs, Digital photography, Photography, Swimming Pools and Spas, Texas, Travel and Tourism, United States
Here is a great place to swim and snorkel in the summer. The water is 72 degrees year round, crystal clear, and teaming with underwater wildlife. This is my favorite pool in Texas because it is natural, made of limestone, and varies in depth from inches on one end, to over 25ft deep in another.
To learn more about the pool, hours, fees, or it’s history follow this link. http://austintexas.gov/department/barton-springs-pool
Here are a few photos I took at the pool. I hope they inspire you to visit.

I took this photo of a hibernating bat at Longhorn Caverns State Park. I am not sure if it is a brown bat or a pipestrelle bat.

Tonight for dinner I have an Indian Sampler plate.
Indian food is so fragrant, spicy, rich, flavorful, and euphoric!
Starting from top left going in a clockwise motion, there is Mutter Paneer which is peas in a gravy of mild spices with Indian Cheese, Baigan Bharta which is smoked and mashed eggplant with onions, garlic, and spices, Palak Paneer which is spinach and Indian cheese, Kadhi Pakoda which is gram flour dumplings cooked Punjabi style in yogurt and Indian spices, Dal Makhani which is black lentils and kidney beans cooked in a buttery gravy of tomatoes, onions, ginger, and garlic, Mutter Methi Malai which is fenugreek and sweet peas cooked in a cashew sauce with mild Indian spices, Basmanti Rice, and Masala Naan bread.
If you have never eaten Indian food you are denying yourself a life’s pleasure.

State parks are the best value and some of the most beautiful places a person can visit. Here is another favorite of mine. This park is named Inks Lake State Park in Burnet, Texas. You can read about it here. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/inks-lake
It has some great animal viewing, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing, tubing, photography opportunities, or whatever your mind can imagine.
Here are a few photos I took inside the park. I hope they inspire you to visit.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my work.

Teriyaki Beef Short Ribs, Japanese Eggplant with Mixed Vegetables and Garlic, and Rice
Posted: May 25, 2013 in FoodTags: Beef, Digital photography, eggplant, Garlic, Photography, Recipes, Rice, Short ribs, teriyaki
This dish is influenced by both Japanese and Korean cuisine. It consists of teriyaki beef short ribs, japanese eggplant with mixed vegetables and garlic, and rice topped with a little bit of Sriracha hot sauce. I don’t have a recipe because I make most of my dishes up in my head. After you cook so long, you get to where you know how to balance the seasoning and mix things up.
Kofta Kabob Hybrid Sandwich
Posted: May 23, 2013 in FoodTags: Digital photography, India, Kebab, Kofta, Lebanon, Naan, Photography, Sandwiches
I call this Kofta kabob sandwich a hybrid because it doesn’t follow tradition other than with the meat recipe. I use black angus 90/10 beef to make the Kabob, an onion naan bread from India, some Labne(Kefir Cheese) from Lebanon, fresh tomatoes, and cilantro for a spectacular sandwich. It is truly mouth watering!
