DOWNTOWN HOUSTON

I had to take this one while moving. At first I didn't like the blur off to the left. But now I like it since it seems to make a nice counterpoint to the darker building on the right.

The leaning buildings also echo the upward movement of our dynamic city.

I know this is Houston in Black & White, but once a year I like to publish a color shot. It's my one indulgence before going back to the self-imposed restrictions of monochrome.

Happy New Year from the fourth largest city in America!

HOLIDAY STILL LIFE

I found this crepe myrtle pod wedged between the leaves of one of my plants and thought the pair was a nice study in contrasts.

Dip them in gold or silver and no Christmas ornament would be finer.

Merry Christmas!

PAINTER'S PALETTE

Here's a picture of my painter's palette. It made such a nice pattern with dark and light textures that it was worth a photo.

MONA'S TACO HOUSE

In the charming city of Castroville, Texas.

Open 6:00 to 10:50 am only.

Breakfast tacos in an old converted gas station.

It's OK, you've got to get away

 from dining exclusively

 in 5 star 

restaurants.

*****

It's time to try breakfast tacos in this tiny cafe.

20 miles west of San Antonio.

SUNLIT SALVIA

Found in my garden. It was a good year for flowers here in Houston.
