Pictures For The Train Lover In All Of Us.  Here are some of my favorite train photos from the past month.

 This was taken on the way home from the 24 Hours in Saginaw party at the Depot.  Saginaw is near Fort Worth.  There were 49 trains during the 24 hours.

 I'm proud of this one, I got the whole thing in the picture and it is very clear.

 This was taken on the way to the Saginaw party.  I think it was near Mumford.

Pics From The Tomball Auto Show at Vintage Park -- June 4th, 2011, From your Houston real estate professional.

These beautiful cars are owned by individuals who take care of and are proud of their cars. 

This blue corvette has some great flags on the front bumper.  There is reflection of something in the hood, I think it might be the clock tower for Vintage Park. 

I love this wonderful orange car, I think it is either a lotus or maserati.  If I win the lottery I would consider buying one of these beauties.  I bet it would go … (2 comments)

***Birthday Flowers***By Your Houston Real Estate Professional

A fellow agent and I both share today as our birthday.  Its kind of nice to share a birthday with someone in your office.  She isn't at the office yet and doesn't know the flowers are waiting for her. 

Isn't this pink gerbera daisy adorable?

The roses are so fresh, I could see the water droplets on them.  I see a lot more in the photograph, I think the light from the flash made a lot of the water drops more visible.

I have been told this is a freshia.  … (3 comments)

***Free Stuff From Lancome*** From Your Houston Real Estate Professional

 If you purchase at least $34.00 worth of Lancome products, you can get this cute tote bag...

 and a choice of 5 makeup products for free.

 Here are the five that I got.  A bronzer, a mascara, a lipstick and two Genifique's.

The Genifique is a youth activating serum.  I'm almost tempted to go back and buy something else for $34 and get another goodie bag for free.  These gifts were from Macy's in Willowbrook Mall.

***Sunsets and Pictures From Texas***

I took this picture while on Sunday the way home from the 24 Hours in Saginaw  Train event last weekend.  What fun that was.   

I like this shot because the sunset is back lighting the tree.

Does this remind you of twilight zone?

I saw this mural on a wall facing train tracks in a small town where we were chasing a train.  What does the blotch on the back of the cow remind you of?

Cool cactus with lots of buds on it.  I've never seen so many buds in a … (4 comments)

***Architecturally Interesting -- Fort Worth, Texas***

 I don't know what this is, but it reminds me of an entrance to a subway station.  It is very unusual.

 This building is most unique, it looks like blocks are pushed out in select places.

 This is the Chesapeak Energy Building. 

 Here are some more pictures of the top of the building and from another angle.

This building is near the train station.  The balconies look like they are floating on the side of the building.

 Look at the far right of the picture, the window configuration looks … (2 comments)

***Beautiful Flowers in Houston & Tomball***From Your Houston Real Estate Professional

I was experimenting with taking close ups of flowers.  I think this one worked out just fine.

Beautiful flower outside a branch of Chase Bank on FM 249.

Lovely red flowers from Chick-fil-A.

Cute vincas.  They are one of the few flowers that can survive the drought that we are having here in the Houston and Tomball area.

This group of flowers is in front of HEB at Vintage Park in Houston on Louetta at FM 249.  The Gerbera Daisys are very cheery.

 This lily was from my neighborhood.  They only lasted less than two weeks.

 Here are some wildflowers near my Century 21 Hardee-Team Realty Office in Tomball.

This is the Thurston Lava Tube.  My sister and I went there in 2000.  It was really cool.  It is very tall, maybe 14 feet tall.
 
These are the owners of the My Island B&B on The Big Island.
