tomball real estate: Where Did I Take This Picture? - 08/23/10 12:40 PM
Do you know where I took this photo?  Hint, it is within 100 miles of Houston.

Another hint, it is a letter "A".  I took this on the way back from a listing.  Have you seen this before, and do you know where it is?  Sorry I chopped off the top of the "A", I took it from a speeding car and just managed to get the picture at all.  Let me know what you think it symbolizes.

tomball real estate: I Ran Across Some Cute Goats on the Way Back From a Showing. - 08/13/10 11:07 AM
After a showing today, I ran across some cute goats on the way back to the office.   (I didn't run over them, just stopped to see them).

My showing was in Waller, and on the way back to the office I saw these adorable goats.  The owner of Swede Farm, Tim, came out to greet me and tell me a little about the goats.

He has three varieties of goat, I remember one type is a nubian. 

They are milked twice a day. 

Look at this cute one with the white stripe down his middle and above two of his hooves.

tomball real estate: Tomball Night, August 6th, 2010. Fantastic Car Show!!! Part 3 - 08/07/10 07:04 AM
 These were taken at the car show in Tomball on Tomball Night, August 6th, 2010.

 I have never seen fenders like these front ones before.  And the grill on the hood is quite unusual.

 I love the blue paint.  It really pops next to the orange grill.  The front fenders are nice too.

 I think this red beauty is a camaro.  Looks like it has plenty of muscle.

 I think this looks like the car from the Steven King movie "Christine", except its not red.  What do you think?

This is one of the better pictures … (5 comments)

These pictures were taken at Tomball Night August 6th, 2010.  Fantastic car show!!! Part 2

Before the car show I went to Chick-fil-A for dinner.  The two cows were really funny and attentive to the crowd.

This kind of reminds me of the car used in the "Munsters" series.  Great paint job.  Bet it goes really fast.

Lovely burnt orange vet that arrived at the car show when I did.  It had a deep rumbling sound as it passed slowly on the way to its exhibition spot.

The back tire on this car was soooo wide, I … (3 comments)

Tomball Night August 6th, 2010.  Fantastic Car Show!!!

This car show took place in the Academy parking lot.  I liked this blue truck because of the beautiful blue color and the shape of the hood.

Look at the size of the rear tire on this baby.  Is that a rumble seat in the back?  If you are too young to know what a rumble seat is you can Google it.

I had to get a close up of the license plate with bullet holes in it.  I think Prohibition was repealed in 1933, so if this car was truly … (3 comments)

tomball real estate: These Baby Ducks are Just Adorable! - 07/10/10 10:06 AM
I have been going to this duck pond for almost a year now and I was so excited to see some baby ducks.  They are just adorable.

This is one of my favorite pictures of the mama and a baby duck.  The baby looks so soft.

There are two batches of ducks.  These were born later than the other ones, they are bigger.

The ducks are very protective of the babies, they constantly keep an eye even on me.

Here the babies are swimming near the edge of the pond, with mama and a straggler or two … (5 comments)

Great Day Trips from Houston.   Fun with the penguins at Moody Gardens. 

These pictures were taken on Thursday July 1st at the Aquarium at Moody Gardens in Galveston Texas.

I called ahead of time to find out the feeding times.  The trainer told me feeding times were 11am and 3pm plus or minus 15 minutes.   I love the little Penguin Xing sign on the left.

Here is a penguin skeleton near the penguin habitat.

There are many viewing portals, this one is underneath the penguins.

They were very active the day I went.  If you want to see … (1 comments)

tomball real estate: Canadian River Wagon Bridge -- May 2010 - 06/14/10 09:47 AM
 While travelling back from Oklahoma I stopped in Canadian, Texas overnight. 

 I noticed this wonderful bridge from the freeway and decided to stop the following day to take a closer look.

 This bridge was originally built for pioneers.

 Here is a train picture that I took from the middle of the pioneer bridge.   

 I thought the shadow of the bridge was interesting. 
 
 This picture of BNSF train engines was taken a few steps away from the entrance to the bridge.
 
 Nice shot of the river, the bridge and the new freeway.

Yellowstone National Park, September 2008 -- Part II.  Part of Yellowstone is in Montana and part in Wyoming.

The water is a beautiful color at some the of the thermal features.  The water is very clear here.

The thermal features take their toll on the trees. 

The national park service has put these great walkways leading most thermal features.

tomball real estate: White Sands National Monument -- January 2010 - 06/09/10 11:17 AM

I visited White Sands National Monument on my way back from the Grand Canyon at Christmas time 2009.

I loved this visitors center, I got to see the adobe style architecture up close.  It actually was very comfortable inside the building.

This is a view of the 1 mile trail around the dunes.

This is the warning sign near where you park your car. 

They have placed some interesting placards with information about the wildlife and plants on the trail.

Here is one about the roadrunner.  What cute birds.

There are several picnic tables … (4 comments)

Oklahoma wildflowers from my trip to take pictures of trains in Davis, Oklahoma in May of 2010.

Great picture of a butterfly on a purple thistle flower.

Sad little yellow flower that looks like it had seen better days.  Lovely sunny yellow color, though.

One of my favorite flowers, I call this one a wine cup.

Cute dandelion with its sphere of seeds ready to take off in the wind.

Purple flowers with hereford cows in the background.

tomball real estate: Shattuck Windmill Museum & Park -- May 2010 - 06/08/10 09:24 AM
On the way back from Oklahoma last May I saw this neat windmill Museum. 

 When you visit the museum in northwest Oklahoma you will find 51 vintage windmills and one wind generator on a 4 acre site at the junction of Highways 283 and 15.  
 
  
 
  The windmills are examples of those that were typical from 1850 to 1950.

 
 Wow, what great granite wall at the entrance to the Shattuck Windmill Musuem and Park.  
 
It looks like the white one in the background has Christmas lights on it.  It must look spectacular at night.

This was from a trip to Yosemite in September of 2007. 
 
This is a picture of Half Dome.  It is one of the most famous of all National Park features.

The lush greenery from the forests provides a wonderful contrast to the grey orange and black rock formations found in Yosemite National Park.

This view provides one of the most famous views of Yosemite Valley. From here you can see El Capitan, with Half Dome in the background. This viewpoint is at the east end of the Wawona Tunnel along the Wawona Road (Highway 41).
