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

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

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.
