Memorial Park Arboretum
by rally on Jan.17, 2009, under threepix
Went to the Memorial Park Arboretum with my sister today. A little bit crisp/chilly, but it set the mood for one of those perfect autumn days. It was pretty hard to 3pix this one. Even though the whole park was just trees (pine trees, mostly), but there were many unique shots. (For example, Hurricane Ike did quite a number of some of the trees there…)
The gray fox is one of two canids that can climb trees!
The cool and modern audio-tour of the park!
Well now, that don’t make it too wild now, does it?
Yes, this is a hospital

I went to go listen to a “Grand Rounds” seminar today… interesting stuff on pain management. Well, a little sobering about how much we know about pain, but really how little we can do about it.

Good thing birds can’t read

Today was an absolutely beautiful day. So much so that I decided to walk to meet Sandra for happy hour at Buffalo Wild Wings instead of driving. (That, and the fact that BW3’s is 3 blocks from my house.)
As I was walking to the restaurant, I noticed a large collection of bird poop on the sidewalk. And looking up, I saw a rather large collection of bird poop machines. Needless to say, I got to safety as fast as I could. (This picture was taken from “safety”. I considered snapping a shot directly beneath them for the unique perspective, but decided not to risk standing under a pack of birds fumbling to get my camera out of my pocket and turned on.)
If Buffalo Wild Wings ever ran out of chicken wings…
Taxis!

The densest collection of taxis you will EVER see in Houston

It’s a bird… It’s a plane…

No, it’s… OK, yeah, it’s a plane. Certainly not the most artistically pleasing photo, but I didn’t have a lot of time to take this picture. The plane was flying really low over the medical center today (so it zipped by me pretty quick). It’s weird… a plane that size flying so low in a metropolitan area (heading east?). If you live in Houston, you know there’s no airport directly east of the medical center. Maybe it was heading southeast (to Hobby), but even so, it’s at least 10-15 miles away. No reason it’s so low already. (Basically, I’ve never seen a plane fly over the medical center like that before.)
