#888. Cot-N-Coffee

Taken this past weekend in Wahalla, TX. The owner of this Bed and Breakfast told me the name was his wife's idea. Kudos to her since it was the name that made me stop! It's not until you think about it for a while that it seems a little oxymoronic. :-)

#882. Photo Orbs

Taken last weekend at Discovery Green in Houston, Texas. This part of the park is decorated with inflated orbs printed with photographs. It's pretty surreal looking in real life and hopefully you get a sense of this in this pic.

#881. Let the Good Times Roll

Taken this past weekend at Discovery Green in Houston, Texas. Maybe you've seen this guy there? Great guy with almost as much personality as the golf cart which he is proud to say was in the 2008 Art Car Parade. It was built at a local high school and donated to Discovery Green because the school didn't really have a place to store it. The back of it is filled with footballs and Frisbees and hula hoops and the like to make your day at Discovery Green a little more enjoyable. I wonder if that job is as fun as being an accountant? :-)

#880. Life Ring

This staircase, obviously now in a state of disrepair, use to allow visitors to Hamilton Pool, near Dripping Springs, Texas, to walk all the way around the pool under the overhanging rock formations. My memory of it is that it has always been a little shaky and was always slippery from being constantly soaked by the falling water.
