One of the things I really wanted to show Sam when I took her to Austin for the 4th of July was the bats.  Austin has the largest urban population of Mexican free-tailed bats in the world; the boat tour guide said there were 800,000 bats this year!  They live under the Congress Avenue bridge [...]

A friend of mine, Sam, was in Houston from Canada for work right before the 4th of July. I took her with me when I headed to Austin for the holiday weekend. One of our stops was The Oasis, a restaurant built into the side of the limestone cliffs overlooking Lake Travis.  Sam, Sara, and [...]

I arrived back in southeast Houston after my latest photo shoot trip to Austin just in time to catch a gorgeous sunset over Clear Lake.

I was in San Francisco for the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union a couple of weeks ago, so the next several sets of photos will be from that trip.  My friend Cassie and I went out on a ferry ride to Sausalito in the fog at sunset the first night we were [...]

We have had some spectacular sunsets in Houston this summer. Below are some of my favorites, all of which were taken from my patio.

It seems that every time we go down to Galveston, there’s a nice sunset. These are from a few weeks ago.  Most were taken with my Canon, but I took the triptych of gulls with my iPhone.
