Texas State Railroad
Posted: May 11, 2013 in Photography, TravelTags: Digital photography, East Texas, Houston, Palestine, Photography, Piney Woods, Steam locomotive, Texas State Railroad, train, Travel and Tourism, United States
One of the most relaxing enjoyable rides is on a train. In the East Texas piney woods, between Rusk and Palestine, we have the Texas State Railroad. https://www.texasstaterr.com/
If you are ever clamoring for a weekend trip from Houston, I highly recommend riding the train through the woods.
I took these photos while on the Engine 300 steam locomotive.
Gulf Coast Toad

When I was a young boy we would see these toads all around Houston. I enjoyed seeing them when they were mating in bar ditches, leaving long strands of eggs, that would turn to thousands of tadpoles. They are not as common today due to the destructive forces of man. However, they seem to be strong in some areas.
I took this photo at night as the Gulf Coast Toad was hopping on a sidewalk.

In Houston, on the Northside of downtown, there is a place that has held my heart for many years. This place is Canino’s Farmers Market located at 2520 Airline Drive, Houston, TX 77009. Canino’s has everything that one can imagine in the way of fresh produce and vegetables at about 25 to 40% less than retail grocery prices. Much of what Canino’s offers is locally grown in Texas. It is a great place to explore, save money, purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, dry beans, rice, nuts, flowers, and local raw honey and preserves. During my trip yesterday, I asked if I could take photos and share them on my blog. The manager graciously approved. So here are some images from Canino’s Farmers Market.

I took this photo at the Houston Zoo. This Chimp has a look on his face. I think it is a look of contemplation. What could he be thinking?
