Photo for February 15: Iron rail bridge

Iron rail bridge by I-10 westbound close to Sealy, TX. I took this shot yesterday on our return trip from Houston, however, I completely forgot to post it once I got home! We exited off I-10 and drove back on the two-way access road. There were a bit of gravel road that gave some closer access to the bridge. It was quite rustic, complete with the earthy odor of decaying deer and cow carcass. I was very fortunate; I had been on the lookout for the bridge and our stop happened to coincide with that wonderful end of day light. I love the juxtaposition of the angular and rigid iron beams with the curving shapes of the deadvine.

Photo for January 28; Icy morning

Icy rosebushes in my yard. It wasn't quite enough ice to let people play hookie from work and school, but it was enough to cover our plants in a thin layer of crystal. Unfortunately I should have gotten out there about an hour earlier. brrrrr....

Photo for January 26

Foggy morning at Rattan Creek Park close to my house. Don't ask me why but there's something compelling about places that have a sense of desolation and emptiness. The misty damp created just that sense for me; even in a place that is usually full of activity.
