This is one of the displays in the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I personally enjoy the Cockrell Butterfly Center most of all but next to that is gems & minerals that I like best. If you visit Houston you really need to visit HMNS. The new disosaur display is really very artistic and I enjoyed it far more in the new environment.
This day we went along with our older daughter and her daughter. It's always fun to watch the interaction between the two. A bittersweet day though, I got the call that my sister was in ICU that day while we were there. I'm okay with it now but truly, it just makes me so angry.

This picture was taken at the top of the Bell Tower in the Old Town of Split. At the bottom, the old ruins are still visible, and out at sea there are new and fancy ships ready for big fishing trips and more. You could feel the meaning behind the Adriatic just by looking out at this view.
Hua Hin
281 kilometres south of Bangkok is Hua Hin, which literally means stone head in Thai, is the oldest beach resort of the country and is still very popular. Clean white sand, crystal clear water and a tranquil atmosphere has continued to attract tourists in search of peaceful and relaxing holidays.
The town was originally known as Ban Samoe Rieng, or Ban Laem Hin ( Stony Point Village ). The construction of a railway station in the city as part of the Southern Railroad in the reign of King Rama VI resulted in making Hua Hin stand out from the many other fishing villages. In addition, the construction of a Summer Palace of King Rama VII totally transformed the village into a high-society resort town for royalty. Even today, the Royal Family continues to reside at the Palace for part of the year.
Hua Hin’s consequence came with the opening of the Railway Hotel ( known today as the Sofitel Central Hotel ), an elegant Victorian-style resort hotel, and also the country's first standard golf course. A cluster of royal and high-society residences gradually became more visible resulting in the transformation of the whole village into the first seaside resort of the country, where visitors could enjoy swimming, fishing, and golfing in the country’s first standard golf course.
Today, Hua Hin is a well-established beach destination with word-class facilities coupled with a true sense of Thai hospitality. Despite its expansive growth and development as a luxurious destination, the splendour of Hua Hin remains intact. Remaining content in itself, Thailand’s oldest seaside resort has never sought international recognition. It has continued to provide a peaceful and relaxed sanctuary in a picturesque environment that comes with a true sense of historical identity.
Hua Hin the oldest beach resort in Thailand.
Hua Hin is the oldest beach resort of the country and has been the Thai royal family's summer residence since the 1920s. It is about 125 miles south of Bangkok. Hua Hin today offers modern luxury accommodation while preserving much of its traditional character as a classic beach destination, including one of the country’s first and finest 18-hole golf courses.Its 3 miles of clean white sand and crystal clear water has continued to provide peace and serenity Hua Hin is renowned for. While offering a tranquil atmosphere, Hua Hin beach is also the place for fun-filled activities ranging from jogging, walking, sun bathing, horse riding, kite boarding, and other kinds of water sports.
Visit the hilltop of Khao Takiap to enjoy a bird’s eye view of Hua Hin, which is one delightful view either during the day or night. For nature lovers, visit Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, which contains a wide range of shoreline habitats: limestone hills, marshes, mangroves, coves and caves. Also do not miss Hua Hin Railway Station, one of Thailand’s oldest and most beautiful railway stations and the Night Market, the most colourful spot offering a wide array of food, drinks, desserts, and souvenirs.
To learn of love and hope, visit Mrigadayavan Palace in the nearby beach of Cha am. This summer seaside palace, often called the palace of love and hope, was built in 1923 by King Rama VI. The building lies between Cha-am and Hua Hin and consists of a two-storey wooden pavilion, a series of linked halls and a long wooden corridor leading down to the sea. Cha-am is also popular for its straight sea pine-lined beach and superb seafood. Klai Kangwon Palace is still an official royal residence and is open to the public on a daily basis.

with the recent acquisition of a box of fabulous vintage buttons, this stunning (and i do mean stunning) ring is just the kind of statement that draws people's attention!
the largest button is just slightly larger than a quarter and is clear, concaved, faceted glass. this button alone would have been perfectly happy on someone's finger, but i felt it needed a friend or two. so, i placed inside its "bowl" another clear round vintage button (this one is faceted plastic) and topped it all off with a slightly off-center, pretty vintage pearlescent button. All this on a gorgeous floral engraved silver-toned adjustable ring!
want to make a statement? this is definitely it. and, because there is almost no color, it can go with absolutely anything!
