The Trail
Winding through the woods
A dirt path made for people
Much for eyes to see

Fire Hydrant
I sit silently
Pressure inside for release
Life saving water

I took this photo in Beaumont, Texas. This is the world’s largest fire hydrant.

This photo was taken by me at the Houston Arboretum. Many people confuse these for water moccasins or cottonmouths. This snake is harmless.

The Octopus
Eight arms to catch prey
Silently hiding in reefs
Inks! He got away.

My Home Town

One of the greatest cities in America for traffic, fat people, pollution, and fake people. Laughs! This is my home town Houston, Texas.
I took these photos in Buffalo Bayou Park.
Texas Renaissance Festival

One of the more interesting places to enjoy a weekend in Texas is the Renaissance Festival located in Plantersville, Texas. This festival is held in the fall so the heat doesn’t kill anybody. When you enter the festival you enter another world. It is like a complete time warp. There are so many different things to see, feel, hear, and taste. My favorite is the men on horses doing live jousting. I could write so much, but I like to let people research on their own. For more information check out http://texrenfest.com/
Here are some photos I have taken at the festival. The characters and patrons are very kind and love to pose. Enjoy!
Angel’s Trumpet Flower

Here is another, no longer, unidentified flower. Per Ray Russel it is an Angel’s Trumpet. I saw this at a festival and said,”I have never seen it. I need a photo.” It’s pretty whatever it is. Post an identity comment if you know what it is. Thanks for posting the comment Ray.

This is a prickly pear cactus photo I took at Guadalupe River State Park in Hunt, Texas. I might add that the fruits and cactus are delicious. Watch for rattlesnakes.
