This past holiday weekend i took a shipload of pictures at Anahuac Wilderness Preserve. This is one of my absolute favorites.
There are times i really enjoy taking black and white photos...they just show life in more detail when you are distracted by colour...
Colour can take front seat in other photos (like the one showing so many different shades of green in another part of the preserve).

This was a lovely way to start the 4th weekend.
Mike and I departed Houston about 930, and arrived at our first destination (where the sunflower was found in the photo set)...SMITH POINT. we could count the number of homes still on the coast with 10 fingers.
It was strange throughout our drive there were huge loader trucks pilling up all the nature debris. They werent pilling up the broken homes and human debris, it was giant pods of tree branches and limbs. They looked like ant hills on the horizon.
Anahuac Wilderness Preserve was really nice. We saw so many different levels of "green" it was truly amazing (see previous post). Also within the walls of the preserve were areas that i presume could be quite marshy but were showing the parched heat of the texas summer we are having.
We stopped for cold beverage at the coast, and thought we would go to the beach. i got the truck stuck in sand trying to back out of the spot we took....thankfully a beach dude came to our rescue and had us on our way in just under 20 minutes.
No truck damage insued.
We got to the ferry to find a hour and 20 minute wait. We played scrabble on the iphone.
We had a lovely late lunch in Galveston at Fish Tales. An absolutely moist and delicious Stuffed Cod. Mike had an equally good looking and moist salmon filet.
We flew up 45 and were home by 6pm.
THANK GOD FOR A GOOD AIRCONDITIONER IN DTP'S TRUCK...
it was nice to just "get out" and do stuff today.
now an evening of quiet relaxation.
wohoo.
Anahuac Wildlife Preserve. Breathtaking Greens.

Started a new position at work Monday which is a better position. Havent gone home on time yet this week. Seems I should start getting used to doing OT. i know the bank account will thank me. The new job is challenging and one that leaves me in the spotlight in front of management often. Its a good thing.
Have to start going to the gym on a schedule again. One of those, you are paying for it, but not using it situations. Got to get back in the swing.
DTP comes home on Sunday. yay!
Holiday weekend coming up....some fun things planned.
July 3 Coming Attractions:
Mike Mc and I are doing a little sortie into the wilderness tomorrow. Seeing as that i have the yaught known as USS DTP (his truck) and driving out to Bolivar Pennisula. This is the area that saw the storm surge from IKE basically level a majoirity of the homes, or simply "wash them away". I'll be taking my camera and it will probably be a morning filled with intense images. I'll post them later in the weekend.While it wont look anything like the photo from Sept 15th to the left, it will still show major signs of what occured.
We will then take the ferry over to Galveston and have lunch on the island.
We'll drive back into Houston in late afternoon.

JULY 4th Coming Attractions:
Work is one of the sponsors of the downtown fourth festival. It is the largest landbased fireworks display in the U.S. and will feature Clay Walker on the mainstage at 8pm. There is a festival in the Bayou Areas near downtown starting at 4pm.
I'll be working one of the booths for work from 4-8pm come get a free beer coozy or other fun items. We are giving away $1000 in free electricity. (grin)
For the first time i am going to stick around after my shift and watch the fireworks from the concert area. Again my camera will be in tow.
