starting from the left:  the sky from my backyard just before a storm

my brother's old pick-up truck.  He recently sold it -- long story short, he survived a brush with death and now -- thanks to the American Plan, is penniless, can't work and doesn't qualify for anything but the V.A. hospital (not to say they're not taking excellent care of him, but they can't pay his rent).

landscape along the way from Texas to Arizona (pretty sure this was in Arizona cause I-10 through New Mexico ain't pretty)

my daughter Emma and my two grandsons

what it looks like just before another abra (boat) hits yours on Deira Creek -- this is Dubai, where the two blondies above live 9 months out of the year.

a statue in the San Geronimo Cemetery in Seguin - I visited here last October, looking for the graves of William & Elizabeth Turner, my gr-gr-gr-gr-grandparents (I think that's enough greats). 

a baby owl in the tree in my backyard.  I enjoyed 3 baby owl's for about 6 weeks -- they would hang out on my back porch, or on my fence, or up in the tree.  This one I called Fuzzy.
