Photo Friday, No. 854

Current Photo Friday theme: Life

A hashtag I frequently use on Instagram is #artislife, and one of the things I love about Houston is the abundance of art: in museums, in galleries, in graffiti, on train cars that pass by, and in many varieties of public art. I haven’t been to a museum since 2019, so a lot of my art appreciation has become drive-by.

This was a day when traffic light timing gave me a chance to shoot with my phone. The artist is Joy Matheson, and she’s done several mini murals throughout Houston. NASA is such a big part of Houston’s history (how many times have you heard or said the line, “Houston, we have a problem?”).

Art is one of life’s gifts.

Current Photo Friday theme: Two

These two… Margot and Guinness, on St. Patrick’s Day 2007. They came to us as rescues in September 2000 and January 2001. They were so different yet became the best sisters to each other and companions to us we could ever have wanted. They were patient with all this foolish dressing up and photographing. They left us gently in November 2015 and September 2016. What fantastic lives they lived and how much love they gave and received. In the end, as dog people know, we didn’t rescue them at all. They rescued us.
