Hilton Americas Houston

Daily Photo – Hilton Americas, Houston

This is a shot of the rear of the hotel. I like the strong lines in the architecture here. Since I like saturated colors, I’ve upped the saturation in this image. People familiar with the building will recognize the colors as being more muted in real life.

Daily Photo – Dawn in the Oilfield

This ‘nodding donkey’ was whirring away on the beach near High Island in Texas. The sun is still a 33 minutes away from breaking above the horizon.

Abandoned Row-Boat

Daily Photo – Abandoned Row-Boat

Unlike yesterday’s image, this one took a bit more effort. I didn’t see the abandoned row-boat when I pulled the car off the road, just the inlet.

I took this a few weeks back when my son received his Arrow of Light, graduating from being a Cub Scout to a Boy Scout. The last several times we went camping with the Cub Scout Pack we weren’t able […]

Between Parades

Daily Photo – Between Parades

What does one do in the gap between parades? On several days through the parade season more than one parade will travel along parts of the same route. Many families use the gap between parades for a picnic. Some groups will go so far as to order a port-a-potty to be set up in the neutral ground for their use during the parade. Others bring tables, awnings, even grills and make it a tail-gate experience (but without the pickup truck […]
