I also photographed a few dinner meals I had over the weekend. This was a smoked sausage with sauerkraut.
Then there was a stir fry.
And a rib eye steak with baked potato.
When leaving Sam’s the other day, I noticed the junk yard on the other side of the street, and thought the rusting old truck between two railroad cars made a pretty good image of contrasting colors.
I then drove up Elm Avenue again and saw an old, abandoned fast station that I thought would also make a good image.
Decades ago, there was an all Black college in that part of town called Paul Quinn College. There are still buildings that remain, and many of them have been renovated for use as schools. But this one had not.
April is the month for wildflowers in Texas. Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush are blooming at the same time. On the way home a couple nights ago, we drove on Santa Fe and Whitehall Park was amazing.
Driving down Franklin, I have frequently noticed the large yellow doors on a building downtown. The building is red brick, and the yellow doors provide quite a colorful contrast.
The doors themselves have a great deal of character.
I took a little time off to try and get a good picture of the VA Hospital. It is always such a colorful and patriotic location with flags lining the driveway.
I took an afternoon and went to Cameron Park. Jacob’s Ladder is a long stair that goes from the upper park area to the riverfront.
Cameron Park Clubhouse is a pavilion that can be rented for various functions.
We took a small road trip a couple weeks ago to Nacogdoches. On the way home, we drove Hwy 84 most of the way. I stopped several places for some pictures, and ended up with some nice images.
I liked the contrast between the color of the shed and ramp and the surrounding winter vegetation here.
The way the overgrown vegetation was melding with this house was quite interesting. And, the two vultures on the roof were rather symbolic.
While in Seattle, we visited the museum dedicated to the glass sculptures of Chihuly. It is located right next to the space needle. The sculpts are in various rooms in the museum, but they are also in various garden settings.
While in Seattle, we went to Pike Place Market. This was an amazing place.
All kinds of seafood and other stuff.
