Event: Paws & Claws Adopt-a-thon 2013

in , , ,

This past weekend several area shelters joined forces to find some awesome dogs and cats forever homes. The event, headed up by the Friends of League City Animal Shelter organization, took place at the League City Civic Center from 10AM - 3PM and was a glorious success! There were 79 adoptions during this event and that is just plain AMAZING! 

Below are the photos I took of the event as well as well as links to my galleries on my social media pages.

Photo Outings - NE Brazoria County, Plum Grove & Houston's Midtown

in ,

This is a quick overview of three outings I've done in the past week and a half.​

1. NE Brazoria Count - this outing was a trip to the Brazoria Wildlife Refuge. Below are some of the photos I took along the way,

2. Plum Grove is a small town we would travel through on trips to see family in Texarkana when I was a child. It is located near the town of Cleveland, TX.

3. My friend and I decided at the last minute one morning to take a trip into Houston's Midtown. We parked around Westheimer and Dunlavy and walked several blocks down Westheimer toward Downtown.​

While in Midtown, my friend and I found these cool yellow and green buildings and took pics of each other in front of them. We had a lot of fun as you can tell.

Photo Outing | The Strand 1.22.13

in ,

Some friends and I made a half-day trip down to Galveston to have coffee and take photos around the area of The Strand. It was a beautiful clear day in late January. I guess you can say it was the calm before the storm that is Mardi Gras. 

Below are some of the photos I came away with as well as links to the full galleries.

Photo Outing | Mary Allen Seminary

in , ,

Mary Allen Seminary Historical Marker

Last Saturday, a friend and I drove to Crockett, TX to photograph the abandoned Mary Allen Seminary. It was a rainy start to the day. We left Houston around noon and arrived in Crockett around 3:00...just as the skies started clearing. Perfect timing.  

From Wikipedia:

Mary Allen Seminary was the first black women's college in the state of Texas. Initially a parochial school founded and run by white Presbyterians, it was restructured in 1924 and became an accredited junior college with an all-black faculty and black administrator in 1933. The school was closed in 1943, reopened the following year, and operated until 1972.

Below are some of the photos I came away with as well as links to the full galleries.
