Lone Star Flight Museum
Posted: May 11, 2013 in Photography, TravelTags: Digital photography, Galveston Texas, Lone Star Flight Museum, Museums, Photography, Texas, Travel and Tourism, United States, United States Navy
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.

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
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.

Boots
Protecting the feet
On a street or a long trail
Some shine, some dirty.

They macaws are speaking! Look at their eyes. They are saying,”Can you believe all these humans walking by gawking at us and taking photos?”
I took this photo at Moody Gardens Rain Forest Pyramid in Galveston, Texas.
