Mountain Flowers None of my family or relatives, as far as I can remember, have been the type to spend a lot of time in the flowerbed. Oh sure, you'll find a row of bushes or some flowers here and there, but not a really sculptured garden like you'd see in a magazine. But that's okay, because sometimes it just takes a little bit of color in just the right place to make everything else that much prettier. Like the Blue Ridge Mountains need any help to look any prettier, this small flowerbed does make a nice foreground looking out from my aunt's backyard.
Notre Dame at Night As interesting as old stone buildings are, at night, they all seem to have a similar tone. What sets them apart is the architecture itself. Notre Dame in Paris is one of those buildings that looks incredible no matter when you see it, at noon or at midnight. The detail in the stone carvings and the sheer size of such a building built during it’s time are just a few reasons to appreciate it.
High-Rise Lines High-rise office buildings are a unique breed. Though they may vary is style and size, they all have a few common traits. They all have lines. Thick lines and skinny lines, lines that go up and lines that go down. Lines that go left and lines that go right. Lines in front and lines reflecting. (...sounds like a Dr. Seuss book). Go ahead and try counting the lines next time you're downtown. You better take a lunch though, you're going to be there a while. This is a late evening shot of one of the Chevron buildings in downtown Houston.
