A barbed wire fence in Orange last week. I never saw a spider, but there were webs on every barb.
This was the view this morning from the end of my in-laws’ street in Orange, TX.
My wife hails from southeast Texas where alligators are fairly common. I took this about six years ago at the Louisiana Tourist Bureau which is two miles from her parents’ house.
I’ve only seen a few alligators down there, but when I play golf I always make sure I have my sand wedge handy. It is, after all, the best fighting iron.
-This is from a road trip in ’95.
Walking low streets, I breathe mountains
Frosty morning air steals into my lungs like perfect smoke
Later desert warmth will rule the day, and storms…
Skies blaze with fiery clouds
Balloons navigate the misty currents
My feet walk conquistador paths and missionary trails
Turned streets that lead past adobe homes and pueblo bungalows
To breakfast in a warm and welcoming diner:
Bagel and cream cheese with fresh green chiles

Nothing says Texas like a dead tree full of vultures.
This was taken early one morning in June of 2001 at Colorado Bend State Park, west of Lampasas.
I took this picture of the ruins at Uxmal on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico on our honeymoon in 1998.
We stayed in Cancun for a few days and then rented a car to explore the countryside. We spent a few days in Merida and on one daylong excursion into the Puuc Hills we stopped at Uxmal, which turned out to be one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever been.
This is the Notre-Dame de Montreal Basilica in Montreal, Quebec. The collage of eight (I think) images was done during the summer of 2001.
