Another Day in Galveston...

These first two photos commemorate Juneteenth, the day when the slaves finally found out that they were no longer slaves in Texas, but free men.

Today in Galveston!

The weather didn't really cooperate, but we ignored it as much as possible! At least it didn't rain directly on us.

We saw the tall ship Elissa but only from a distance. She needs repairs and so wasn't open for tours. We did go on a Harbor Tour which allowed me to get these photos:







We also saw the Bishop's Mansion:

Texas Vacation

AndyS and I are in Texas for a couple of weeks, for photo shoots, lessons in same, and sightseeing!

I got these deer in the late afternoon, yesterday. They were skittish and ran away from the car! But not all.

Enjoy!













And a cool uprooted tree, buried with its roots showing!
