Power Nap Being a cow is hard work I suppose. You have to constantly eat to keep your figure, plus it takes a lot of energy to 'moove' that figure around too. So whenever you get a chance, you try to take in a quick power nap. These sleepy friends were at The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, waiting their time to show. For many city folks, a livestock show may be the only opportunity to see up close livestock normally found in the country. It's great family fun too.

Quan Âm Sculpture At the Vietnamese Buddhist temple in southwest Houston, you can find this 72-ft sculpture of Quan Âm the female Buddhist deity of compassion and mercy.

Brush Strokes There is a small stretch of road on my way home from work that is unobstructed by power lines, buildings or other unsightly items that might deter from a sunset. On this day, I didn't have the SLR, but did have my iPhone and decided to stop. People driving by must have wondered what the nut holding his arms in the air in front of him was doing, but hey, they missed a great sunset.
