Airshow

The annual Wings Over Houston Airshow is going on this weekend at a nearby airport so I've been seeing a lot of air traffic today. I'm considering going to the show tomorrow to try and get some proper shots. Anyone know what this one is?

RenFest Red Head and Her Minion

Here's two characters from the Texas Renaissance Festival last Saturday. These two were working together. Not exactly sure who or what they were supposed to be but my interpretation was "evil step sister" and her "androgynous minion". Of all the oddball characters I saw this day these two may possibly have been the most fascinating.

Balloon Glow Prep

Here is another shot from the Ballunar Liftoff Festival at NASA Johnson Space Center this past Saturday. This shot was taken as the balloons were being readied for the "balloon glow" a little later in the evening.
