Texas to Nola part II


 Did you know this? I didn't know what the symbols on outhouses meant.

 A shot from our brief time in Austin. 

Daimon took this candid shot of me.


In Houston, we visited the museum of funeral history. There was a very interesting exhibit on bizarre coffins. Check out this crab!





This is the San Francisco House; once a sugar plantation.



I soaked up the sun all week just like this tiny frog we found at a state park. I tried to identify this little guy; I suspect it's a spring peeper. That's a good sign, even if he does live in Louisiana!

Snow Day Somethings

Like many people snowed in, I spent some time on the online, researching places to check out in Texas and New Orleans, and interesting venues where we could doing a sun session through Sun Lab Studio.  We were able to record in a Cave in Virginia last year, so why shouldn't we explore other interesting locations?

Daimon and I watched a few movies, one of which was "The Greatest Show on Earth". It wasn't my favorite movie, but I really liked the costumes, which might serve as inspiration when I have to create one in the coming months. 


I even worked on a few eggs. 





I learned that a loved person in the community had passed, and I wanted to do something special for his knowledgable beekeeper and naturalist who has helped Daimon as a mentor numerous times.  I helped assemble boards of pictures for his wake with his wife, who told me all the stories behind the photos. 


The beekeeper's association donated more flowers than you can imagine. In most of his photos, he is holding up comb, a flower, or there's a bee on his clothing or head!

The cat likes to snuggle up and fell asleep on his back!
