This photo was taken inside the Old Louisiana Capitol building in Baton Rouge, LA, as the sun’s rays pierced through the stained glass onto the floor.

Lone Star Flight Museum

Having a hobby as a musician, I am often privileged to special parties and events. A few years back, I took several photos at the Lone Star Flight Museum http://www.lsfm.org/index.html in Galveston, Texas while playing for the U.S.S. Texas Submarine Commissioning party for the United States Navy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Texas_%28SSN-775%29
The museum has a great collection of vintage war planes. If you want to do a draw down on your wallet, they also offer plane rides in a few selected aircraft.
So if you’re in Galveston, Texas, make a trip over to the museum, and learn a little about the history of flight.
Here are a few photos from the museum.
Texas State Railroad

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.

I took these photos at Goliad State Park in Goliad, Texas. This is site of the Goliad Massacre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliad_massacre, and the Battle Of Goliad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Goliad
Always learn and remember history to avoid a repeat.
If you are in Texas, or visiting Texas, I highly recommend Goliad State Park http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/goliad
Baby Mockingbirds Nesting

These baby mockingbirds are in an orange tree with plenty of thorns. I doubt anything will ever eat them, as I have watched the mother, and father return every year to the same nesting location. I had to be quite careful not to get cut on thorns to get this macro photo.
Baby Mockingbirds.
Gulf Coast Toad
Posted: May 11, 2013 in Amphibians, PhotographyTags: Digital photography, Endangered species, Frog, Houston, Houston Toad, Photography, Texas, United States
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.
