Home

The LoneStar state. Also one of the hotest states in the US during Summer. Lots to see there.. I went to a Baseball Game, went to the Baseball, a Christian Rock Concert, and also the Space Center in Houston.

Interesting Color !

Just had to take this photo - Ewww isn't that water color gruesome? *LOL*

The WaterGardens at Fort Worth

This photo was taken outside of the WaterGardens in Fort Worth *smiles*

Here are the WaterGardens.. People were in there cooling off when I was visiting.

Love those steps...

This is the stepway that takes you up and down the WaterGardens.

Play Ball !!!
