TEE PEE MOTEL in WHARTON, TEXAS

Most people have watched the movie 'Cars' and enjoyed the cute cartoons of the Tee Pee Motel.

But believe or not, they're REAL.

You can stay in one when you visit Wharton, Texas. Wharton is about 60 miles southwest of Houston just off of Highway 59. 
The poor Tee Pee Motel fell victim to modern times and fell into disrepair after the 1960s.
It's an interesting story....but they were saved just in time....

MUHLY GRASS ABSTRACT

I really enjoyed snapping this shot of waving Muhly grass. It was so windy on the prairie that it was a given that this would turn out to be an abstract.

FLOWER POWER


The boldest flower I grow in my garden. It's native to South Africa.

SOAP DISH

It took 20 attempts to get the lighting just right. The soap glows and curves work nicely.
Enjoy!

LIVE OAK TREE at BALDWIN PARK


Kids love this grove of trees since the branches reach down to the ground.
Just south of downtown Houston in Midtown.

CIRCLE OF LIFE


Ladybugs found on a plant called Dock. Along White Oak Bayou.
I like the circle formed by the leaf as it loops around the love bugs.
