In between our freezing days in Texas, I got out and shot some photos of trees and moss. Moss has a beauty about it, especially when blowing in the wind. I hope you all enjoy the photos.

Billy Bob’s Fort Worth, Texas
Posted: December 29, 2013 in TravelTags: Billy Bob's Texas, Country club of the year, Dallas, Fort Worth, Fort Worth Texas, Texas, United States
Billy Bob’s, located in Fort Worth, Texas, is the largest honky-tonk in the world at around 100,000 square feet. The club can hold close to 6,000 patrons. This club has activities, food, live music, and more bars than the most serious drinker can handle. To add to all that excitement, they have live bull-riding in the club. The club is notorious for attracting some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. Inside the handprints of stars can attest to that. The place has a slight museum quality to it along with it being a spot for many films. It is a great place to have a great time with friends or to meet some new ones. Here are a few photos I took while doing a tour before the crowds arrived. Enjoy the photos and for more info on Billy Bob’s view their website here. http://billybobstexas.com/
Fort Worth Stockyards

The Fort Worth Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas are a magnificent preservation of Texas history, and the way things once were once upon a time. The stockyard area is loaded with fine restaurants serving a variety of food, but I must add that this is beef country. This area is home to great steaks. The people of Fort Worth Stockyards area are helpful, courteous, and willing to answer any of your questions. The highlight for me was the daily cattle drives of beautiful longhorn cattle walking right down the original brick roads of exchange street. There were also recreations of gunfight’s with the sheriff taking out the outlaws. The stockyards were so enjoyable, that I will definitely be going back to enjoy. One other added bonus is the largest honky-tonk in the world called Billy Bob’s. I’ll post some photos of Billy Bob’s on another post. Enjoy the photos and make a trip to the Fort Worth Stockyards!
Gaylord Texan Grapevine, Texas
Posted: December 29, 2013 in TravelTags: Christmas, Dallas, Gaylord Texan, Grapevine Texas, Texas, United States
The Gaylord Texan is the largest most magnificence hotel/resort I have ever seen. It is located in wonderful Grapevine, Texas. The people in Grapevine are courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and might I add it is the Christmas Capitol Of Texas. This hotel can cater to the smallest wedding, or the largest of corporate events, because of their massive convention center on location. There are four fantastic restaurants serving Italian, Mexican, American Fair, and a Steakhouse. My favorite is the River Cantina. It provides the feel of being right on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Out of ten stars, I give this hotel and eleven. I tried to capture the vibe through photos, but as with anything in life, it doesn’t beat being there. Enjoy the photos!

Pleasure pier http://www.pleasurepier.com/ is built on the old Flagship Hotel pier in Galveston, Texas. This pier rivals Navy Pier in Chicago, or the Santa Monica Pier. Right on the Pier is the famous Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, if you are hungry! http://www.bubbagump.com/ There are snack shops, games, high and low thrill rides, and live music. Here are few photos from the pier. I hope you enjoy and find time to visit!
Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish
Posted: October 20, 2013 in FoodTags: Catfish, Conroe, Conroe Texas, Fish and Seafood, Food, Greater Houston, Houston, Lake Conroe, Restaurant, Texas, Travel and Tourism, United States
Just to the North of Houston is a small town called Conroe. Conroe is home to Lake Conroe, one of the best fishing and recreational lakes about 40 miles north of Houston. Right off Hwy 105, in Conroe, is one of the best catfish restaurants in the state of Texas. This restaurant is called Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish. http://www.kuntrykatfish.com/
Not to be long on words, I will let the photos do the talking, but I can tell you this, you will not find better prices, and better catfish anywhere in Texas. The green tomato relish and hushpuppies are out of this world. Oh, and the waitresses and staff, fantastic!

A Big Alligator!
I took this photo at Brazos Bend State Park.
I estimate the size at about 12 feet and 500 plus pounds.
I was 30 feet away when I shot the photo. Brave or stupid? LOL
