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 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!
