July Photo A Day: Path
Glad I grabbed this shot yesterday because it’s raining today, and I wouldn’t have wanted to walk anywhere to find a path. This is one of many walking/running trails off of Allen Parkway in Houston.

July Photo A Day: Where You Are
One of Houston’s supersized antique malls. Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a person who shops. But I’m on a mission for a few things, so I’ve been hitting some thrift and antique stores. This will cure any itch to shop for another five to seven years, probably.

30 Days of Creativity: Day 29–Layers
The Adventures of Katnip: 49
“Cookbooks are magical, too,” Cuddle said.
I wasn’t surprised that a critter made by Russell Stover wanted to re-create a chocolate cake from the old Good Housekeeping Cookbook we ran into.
About 30 Days of Creativity here.
Full Katnip set here.
Katnip’s spirit was willing, but either my chocolate, my tools, or my skills were weak, because my chocolate shavings only crumbled. It doesn’t matter: Happy Pride, Houston! I baked you a cake.

Back in April, I was on the Rice University campus and I found two more sculptures by Jaume Plensa. This installation is titled “Mirror.”

30 Days of Creativity: Day 11–Nostalgia
The Adventures of Katnip: 31
“Perhaps we should have taken into account that neither of us has a driver’s license before we started this trip down Memory Lane?”
Today Lynne and Lila took me to lunch at 59 Diner. The staff was gracious enough to remove their pink Cadillac from the display case so I could use my phone to shoot Katnip and John Riley with it. Thanks, 59 Diner, Lynne, and Lila! Speaking of nostalgia, back when the only 59 Diner was at the Shepherd location and we lived in the suburbs, this was where I used to bring Lila’s father Jess–he wasn’t much older than Lila is now–for a treat. It was “our place.”

Double Shot
Some of my favorite people in the world at the Hobbit Cafe–Tom, Alan, Dan, ‘Nathan, John, Matt, Rhonda, and Lindsey.
I made ‘Nathan pose for this one and only later realized the reflection of the lights provided a new perspective of Gandalf. He will defeat you with his laser eye!
