Charles strikes a defensive pose, but it's no use against him. Passers by walk away, wanting to have nothing to do with the violence.
For Joan... Who saw this and immediately said "That's a Tony Shot"!
So, here it is. This is an old Toyota sitting on a dock in front of an even older work boat in the water.
Came across another Flickr'ist (mathteacher), that has a rust and weathered set, which triggered something in my head, so this will fit into that great new project too. More things to hunt for, shot and take home.
Thanks Joan & mathteacher.
I drew this picture of my math teacher with a kinda Alice in Wonderland Theme. See the tree and sky in the back ground?
The City of Galveston had their tree lighting ceremony at the Hotel Galvez and Kay (mathteacher) and I were so delighted to find that there was a good attendance for it. The City is still struggling badly from the effects of Hurricane Ike and I believe really needed something like this to lift it's spirits.
Today while in Houston with Kay (mathteacher) we stopped to photograph a very unique garage door on a building (will post that picture later). While Kay was getting some shots of it I walked down further where I saw a barbed wire wreath on the next door down thinking in might make for an unusual photo op. When I got there, first I noticed the binder clip and called out to Kay "you are really going to like this" because she likes finding clips in odd places. As I was saying this I looked at the mailbox itself and hollered out "you are REALLY going to like this". This is an excellent example of what details you can find by parking and walking as opposed to drive by shooting photos.
Yesterday on our day trip to Navasota with the Houston Photowalk group Kay and I discovered this wall in an alley full of amazing light reflections. Truly one of the most unusual sights we have ever seen, the wall opposite this one looked just like this except there were windows along the top. We still don't quite comprehend how this beautiful display could appear. To see Kay's version of this click here
Various people try to restrain him, but having no luck doing so, return to talking to their friends.
Old Galveston Causeway
Mathteacher's husband, Ralph (Railroad historian and more) arranged with the great folks at BNSF Railway for a group of us to take a very informative trip out to the new lift bridge on the old Galveston Causeway.
This morning Kay (mathteacher) and I participated in the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk that took place on Westheimer Road in Houston. I've uploaded a few photos from the walk and will have many more in the coming days. When I saw this doggie statue today I knew instantly that I wanted to use the photo of it to remind people to please do not let your dogs live their lives on the end of a chain. It is something I believe passionately in, they deserve much more than endless days tied in the same place with no choice but to live in their bathroom as well. Show them the love and affection they deserve and need and most of all allow them to be as dogs are meant to be.
This is Floyd who is stranger #5 in my 100 strangers project and my favorite one so far. Kay (mathteacher) and I went to visit my niece in Louisiana this past weekend and she took us to Cafe Des Amis in Breaux Bridge LA for breakfast on Saturday morning. This was without a doubt the most wonderful breakfast I have ever had, yep the food was good but the best part is the Cajun Zydeco band that plays and all the dancing that goes on. Floyd was sitting at the table next to us and I do mean next to us because the tables are all squished together to make room in this tiny place for the dancing. We struck up a conversation and I was so delighted to find a very warm, funny and amazing man. Floyd is 82 years old and had been out dancing the night before until 2:00AM at the music festival in Lafayette LA but was ready and raring to go this Saturday morning. He is married, has 6 daughters and a son, worked at the power plant 22 years until he retired 21 years ago. He playes golf and loves music and dancing. There are 4 pictures in this series from Cafe Des Amis.

On the same trip with photomajik and mathteacher we stopped at this delightful water lily nursery. I found this in their pond. I didn't know that water lily leaves could get that bright
Fabulous photo of the heron - if I do say so myself. This is now made possible because of the purchase of a new lens. I hate to say it but I suffered from lens envy when I saw the ones that Marilyn (photomajik) and Kay (mathteacher) had. I don't have to envy anymore. I'm a happy camper. Now I just have to learn how to use it.
Hello to Pat and Judy. I had a great time today!!
Two weeks ago I was in Lafayette LA with my niece Amy, Kay (mathteacher), Pat (backup1940) and Judy (Do-A-U-E) at the Festival International. In addition to the wonderful music performed there were amazing artists displaying their wares for sale throughout the festival but this artist Woodrow Nash stopped me in my tracks with his work. These are all sculptures and each and every one of them is so lifelike you cannot help but be drawn in by them. There are 3 photos in this series.

Actually, an ornament atop a concrete and brick fence post. Spotted while wandering around Taylor, Texas with my friends Kay (mathteacher...) and Marilyn (photomajik).

Kay (mathteacher) and I spent 4-5 hours at the Ikea store in Houston the other day (yep I really meant 4-5 hours) and there is a lot of facinating items to take pictures of. Stay tuned to our sets for some of those but for now this is my favorite of the one's that I took. It is actually a large photograph behind this tree but to me it is as though someone in a high rise has a tree in a window overlooking the city. One can just imagine all the hustle and bustle going on in the city.

Kay (mathteacher) and I loved the way the mailboxes looked. How many letters....bills....good news....bad news... the stories of life.
BY TASAWAR HUSSAIN ASKARI-----ABDUS SATTAR, 10th red reciting the holy quran--------A FAREWEL PARTY WAS ARRANGED AS OUR FORMER MATHTEACHER AT GHS OGHI, MANSEHRA WAS GOING TO BE RETIRED FROM SERVICE FROM HIS SCHOOL AS A PRINCIPAL, GHS KOLIKA. TTHIS PARTY WAS DONE ON 10 SEPTEMBER, 2011 AT GHS OGHI.
Taken on a photo shoot today with Kay (mathteacher), Matt Harding, Nick Saum, Sonia (Dark Haired Girl) Robert (Soonerpa) and Connie (im_swts) at the old Fallstaff Brewery in Galveston. I spent a good amount of time in this room, for some reason I was facinated with the light fixture hanging down in the middle and was determined to capture it. For a closeup see the next photo but this shot is unexpectedly my fave. The light in the upper left corner looks like it is lit however there is no electricity in the building and hasn't been for years.
A huge thanks to Kay's (mathteacher) husband Ralph for obtaining permission for us to photograph the building to our hearts content and all the while telling us very cool information about how it used to operate and what different parts of it were used for "back in the day".

Last Sunday Kay (mathteacher), Margaret (Reed Photo) and Mona (75bobcat) and I attended an after hours photo shoot at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, One of the exhibits we were priviledged to photograph is the Gems of the Medici which not only contains some beautiful jewelry but also lovely works of art such as this bowl which is made of Agate and gilded silver. This style of bowl was common in Europe and the Agate that this one is made of is of a very particular quality found in the Mid-East and is known for the extraordinary veins of color that intensify when held to the light.
On a road trip with Kay (mathteacher), Pat (backup1940) and Judy (do-a-u-ie) yesterday in the hill country of Texas we saw this incredibly beautiful horse. Although I know he belongs to the draft horse breed I'm not quite sure which type he is. This horse has such presence and was really quite something to see.
Spotted while wandering around Granger, Texas with my friends Kay (mathteacher...) and Marilyn (photomajik). The lion is the school mascot and these are all over town.
Kay (mathteacher) and Ralph's Aunt Rowena passed away early this morning, she was quite elderly and in her 90's and so her time came. Yesterday on the way back from our ramble Kay and I stopped to check on her as she was in a declining state and when Kay dropped me off at home she noticed this faded magnolia flower on my tree by the driveway and loved it. If you know Kay you know she loves rusty colored things:). I urged her to take the time to photograph it but she wanted to get home and get cleaned up to go back to Rowena's side so after she left I snapped this photo. When I heard from Kay this morning that Rowena had passed on, the thought came to my mind that she was like this faded beauty so this is for Aunt Rowena......
Houston Zoo trip with Kay (mathteacher), Jane (42leaves), Pat & Judy (backup1940). Two in this series.
Went out to Seabrook this morning to try some more sunrise pics. The weather, heron and pelicans cooperated. I also got to meet a couple of photographers who have been an inspiration to me, Mathteacher (Kay) and photomajik (Marilyn). What an altogether enjoyable morning.
When I asked my dept chair, David, to pose for a picture, I immediately knew what type of shot I wanted to take. Come to think of it, I should have stacked more math books on top. (smile) By far, David is thee best dept chair I've ever had. Thanks, David, for taking time out of your busy schedule to pose for me!!!
