Accident on Tomball Parkway near High Meadow Ranch on 7/19/11 at approximately 3pm.  This stretch of pavement was very slippery.  We are way behind on rain here in this part of Texas.  This brief rain storm brought all the oil to the surface of the street and made it very treacherous.

Respondents to the emergency call were two sheriffs , one constable , three ambulances , one fire engine and about seven or eight wreckers .  It took about 30 - 45 minutes to move the victims and cars and clean up the street.

Here is one of the ambulances … (2 comments)

Architecturally Interesting Buildlings -- The Houston Galleria Area

This great building is round on one side and flat on the other.  It resembles a cylinder cut in half along the long axis.

These buildings are on the 610 Loop across the freeway from the Houston Galleria. This is Cameron.

Fireworks As Art -- Astros Game 7/15/11

The Astros lost to the Pirates last night 4 to 0, but I still had a great time.

On Fridays after the game they open the retractable roof and shoot off fireworks .  These pictures turned out to look more like art than pictures of regular firework displays.  This looks like a blue flame in the middle.

This one kind of looks like a person with a poofy hairstyle.  The yellow and blue lines kind of remind me of arms.  I had the camera set to take firework pictures.  I also had the flash … (1 comments)

Thanksgiving With The Family November 2002 from your Houston Real Estate Professional

The little kitty seems fascinated by something under the salvia bush.

I love these will purple berries,  they look so festive.  Sometimes they appear in little clumps all the way to the end of the branch.

These cats are in my brother's barn.  They have learned to coexist with the horses just fine.  The top one seems to have a very intelligent look on its face.

I love the bright colors on this pepper plant.  Muy caliente.

Stunning Flowers From Texas -- From Your Houston Real Estate Professional

After being so dry here in the Houston area, it rained for a full day last week.  This cute little flower popped up on Sunday.  It appears to be symmetrically perfect.

This little batch of flowers also bloomed after the rain last week.  I believe it is a portulaca.
