Current Photo Friday theme: Autumn 2013


Fall in Houston looks exactly like summer in Houston. But I thought I’d go by the Houston Arboretum in Memorial Park in case they have any trees that change colors even before the temperatures drop. Of course, today is the one day the arboretum is closed, because tomorrow is the ArBOOretum Fall Festival.

So this is what I got–and what you get. Happy Autumn!

I believe I can fly!

This is Beatriz, a three-month-old dachshund mix. I met her when I was photographing dogs for a rescue group who takes dogs and cats from death row at our city pound and transports them to areas where there aren’t so many strays and surrenders and people are eager to adopt them. I think Beatriz and her new family are going to learn that sometimes, as Belinda Carlisle sings, heaven is a place on earth.
