Golden Geese On a recent trip to the Houston Zoo, we stopped outside Herman Park by McGovern Lake to watch the sun set. What started as a large crowd, quickly thinned out to only a few of us taking photos as the sun dropped below the trees. The only others around were a few geese and ducks that didn't seem bothered by the dwindling light.

The Sheldonian Theatre In Oxford, England, you will find a round building called The Sheldonian Theatre. Built from 1664 to 1668, it was named after Gilbert Sheldon, chancellor of the university at the time and the project's main financial backer. Today, it is used for music concerts, lectures and university ceremonies, but not for drama. We skirted by this building on our tour and I meant to go back for a closer look during our very short break. But when you're looking for an ATM so you can buy lunch for the family before getting back on the bus... you get the idea.

Late Night Dining at Katz’s A few friends and I met at the Houston Zoo for a photo walk, then ended the evening with some sunset shots. We were all a bit tired from the heat and very hungry. Not in the mood for a burger, we agreed on Katz’s Deli on Montrose. It was late, but hey, they’re open 24 hours. After a great meal and fellowship, we headed back outside. But wait! I see neon signs. There are not a lot of these large neons in town, so it was fun to shoot one more round of photos before calling it a night.
