The Heart of Texas Air Show was Sunday at the TSTC airport. I paid a little extra for “flight line” seats, and I am not sure they were worth it. But, the show was great. Several aerobatic performers, some vintage planes, three performances by The Golden Knights, and the Air Force Thunderbirds.
The City of Waco sponsored a festival/craft beer event at Cameron Park East last weekend. It featured beers from some small breweries and three bands.
I was not impressed by the beers. of the 21 beers that could be sampled, 11 of them were IPAs and 6 were wheat beers. There was one stout and one “amber” ale. There were three lagers.
There was a reasonable, but not huge crowd. The weather was threatening, and that was factor.
The first band was Barelands from Beaumont. They were followed by Waco’s own Billy Joe Shaver.
The headliner was Reverend Horton Heat. They played some interesting rockabilly stuff.
Last Weekend, McLane Stadium hosted the first (annual) Brazos River Rib Fest. I was hired to photograph the event. I got amour 1400 pictures. How can you have a Rib Fest without spare ribs? Here are some of my pictures of the ribs.
Those are actually the hands of Baylor President Judge Ken Starr who was one of the contest judges.
I never considered the haunting status of real estate to be something I should pay attention to.
These are a few pics taken in the streets of New Orleans.
One of the icons of New Orleans is the street cars. These are two images of the street cars.
The AMCA met in New Orleans. As always, a good time was had by all. We took the train out of Houston. Next to the AMTRAK station in Houston is the Jefferson David Hospital. This is an old historic hospital dating back to the end of the Civil War. I am not sure what it is used for today, but there was activity in it and cars in the lot. I kind of liked the concept of posing the anatomical model in the window.
This is the skyline of Houston from behind the AMTRAK Station.
As always, we were in Galveston for Mardi Gras. The parades out on Seawall do not have the character the ones on the Strand had. But, they were still fun.
Can’t get more decked out than that.
Always pirates, even with beads.
The bead truck.
After Cozumel, we spent a day at sea before getting back to Galveston. Over the course of the cruise, I was able to get some sunrise/sunset pictures. So, I am going to put them all in this post.
This was from Falmouth Jamaica.
This was at sunrise in George Town Grand Cayman Islands.
as was this
And, as we were preparing to leave George Town, I got this shot.
Our third port of call was Cozumel. I am not sure how many times we have been to Cozumel, but it has been enough that we no longer consider doing any organized excursions. We took a cab into town, walked around, and had lunch at Las Palmeres. I have taken so many pictures in Cozumel over the years, that it is hard to take anything new. But, I tried. As we were about to leave port, I got a couple of shots of Cozumel at night.
