Galveston - Saturday Outing - 02.12.11

in

Last weekend we took a quick trip to Galveston. We were lucky enough to make it to the seawall about 20 minutes before sunrise. After sunrise, we grabbed a coffee at Lasso a Latte and then jumped on the Bolivar Ferry. We drove around Bolivar for a little while then headed back to take a few shots of some of the architecture in Galveston.

Forbidden Gardens

in

A couple of weekends ago, we visited Forbidden Gardens (Twitter | Facebook) in Katy, Texas. I had found out from the League City Photography Meetup Group that this wonderful place was going to be closing soon to make way for the Grand Parkway expansion. The group went on Saturday, 2-5-11. I was still recovering from the flu that day, but we were lucky enough to go the next day. It was a beautiful day!
