The previous posting took a long time and was getting long,
so here is some more for 2021.
Mercer Arboretum and Botanic Gardens
Just 28 miles east of me is Mercer Botanic Gardens. A quick easy drive to some beautiful gardens. This is a county facility and supported by donations and tax dollars. They sustained major damage in Hurricane Harvey.
Also went with the Northwest Houston Photo Club
A couple visits to downtown Houston
A sunrise shoot with the Houston Photowalkers
Big Walls Big Dreams
An effort to paint some murals around Houston. We went into see some of the walls and were not impressed with the first few we found, they were not photogenic in my opinion. But enjoyed the painting of the supports of an overpass.
Smithers Park
A visit to Smithers Park a artist park on the southside of Houston. This park is still being built out by local artist. They have a local group plus the City of Houston Park Dept. to authorize any additions to the park. All mosaic with some general themes. Visited with the Houston Photo Walkers.
