Galveston, Texas

Latest round of work travel takes me to Galveston, Texas. I'd never been before and I'm finding it a very nice place! Lots of huge historic mansions and a really beautiful downtown area. It reminds me quite a bit of New Orleans, particularly in the architecture. Adventures today included gift shops (mostly yuck) and a trip out to a colleague's amazing farmhouse. He's got some rad junkyard-lookin' dogs.

After that, we tried to hit up the Moody Mansion but they didn't have a tour until too late. Still, I got some snaps around the house and garage.

The aforementioned barn dogs and one rooster.

Work events started at 5. Here's two of my colleagues, touring the Galveston tall ship.

Coming home to my man tomorrow!

A Monkey and a Pig

I married into the cutest twins on earth. George's cousins dressed up as a monkey and a pig for Halloween and though they were cranky as all get-out due to *two* birthday parties on Sunday, they still managed to pull off the animal-lookalike bit very well. I think next year they'll be waaaay into the candy-delivery system that is Halloween.

I love these kids!!

Bonus: George's mom. Hi readership that is related to me! Here's a photo of George and his lovely mother. Say hello to Barbara!

Me and Mirrors

I'm fascinated by reflections. There is so much a photographer can do with mirrors, glass and angles. So you can imagine my delight when I came across one of those triangle forever mirror things at the University of Maryland while I waited for George's class to get out. I ducked up inside and had lots of fun taking self-portraits. The mirrors were plenty dirty and it was very dark in the hall, but I still had some fun. Here's me and me and me.
