One of the delights of the morning after a hard rain is to see...

I saw this charming barn nestled in the trees while driving...

The Cullen Sculpture Garden at Houston's Museum of Fine Arts is a quiet little respite with about 25 or so sculptures. 

Over time I have taken photos of most of the sculptures in the garden...

Created in the canyons of the Colorado River, Lake Powell has many parts of its shoreline that are shear rock walls...

This came from a day I was just messing around with a close-up lens and some things from the kitchen...

One lone stalk of prairie grass, just jutting up a little higher than all the stalks around it...

Looking at the cruise ship, Carnival Magic, through the rigging of the tall ship, Elissa (1877), in the Port of Galveston...

A windbreak for a viewing platform at Galveston State Park in Texas...

Shiny and silver, it soars over the Mississippi River and St. Louis...

This lovely Snow Egret was sitting by the edge of a small pool of water...
