League City Daily Photo

Day at the park

2007-05-19T23:27:00.001-05:00

Today was a very nice day, so I decided to take a photo in one of the nearby parks. We've been having nice weather all week... however we need some rain.

Baby Mockingbird

2007-05-18T23:14:00.000-05:00

Look what I found! Mockingbirds're the Texas state bird and they're mean little buggers. I tried to shoo this one to a new location because the dog had seen it, and it came at me. I was rather startled; I guess the babies are mean, too.

Ladybug

2007-05-17T23:28:00.001-05:00

I'm back! Was I missed?

Anyway, I saw this cute little ladybug sitting on top of my car when I left work.

Glasses

2007-04-11T21:39:00.000-05:00

Glasses! Taken in the optometrist's office on 518. I had to go in and pick up my contacts.

Sorry for the lack of posts. I was busy and sick and stuff. Ah well, excuses.

Easter flowers

2007-04-07T23:37:00.000-05:00

The local Krogers is selling these for Easter. Tomorrow's egg day!

Bench for sale!

2007-04-05T20:56:00.000-05:00

The Kroger on 518 and 270 are selling these benches. They were up high on the edge of a wall.

Post-rain

2007-04-01T17:16:00.000-05:00

Yesterday it poured down. My street flooded and everything... I should've taken a photo of that for yesterday's daily photo, but oh well. This coffee can full of water was sitting around outside Clear Lake Aikido dojo.

So much for more creative framing.

A fan

2007-03-30T23:41:00.000-05:00

This is random! It's an air conditioner fan! It's behind the library.

Anyway, I've noticed that I tend to frame all my photos the same way... so I'm going to try to get a bit more creative. We'll see how this goes.

Cookies

2007-03-29T00:17:00.000-05:00

Today I bring you another photo from the break room. I'll try to get something more interesting tomorrow. Anyway, isn't that cookie jar cute?

Dirty

2007-03-26T21:14:00.000-05:00

This is how we keep track of whether the dishes are dirty or clean in the break room at work. Sadly, I didn't get to go anywhere cool since my hip and back acted up halfway through work, so this is all ya'll get today.

Flowers

2007-03-25T23:16:00.000-05:00

It's me! Shock!

I forget what these flowers are called despite the fact that they are also growing in front of my house. This is behind the library, where they grow unchecked and in abundance every spring.

Sweet ride

2007-03-24T19:09:00.000-05:00

I found this snail on this leaf and immediatly thought "that had to be one wild ride."

Amusing sign

2007-03-23T23:14:00.000-05:00

...So you better not park there.

Eggs!

2007-03-20T21:18:00.000-05:00

Today when I went outside, the dove I mentioned a couple of posts ago wasn't in her nest for whatever reason... so I realized that I could take a photo of her eggs. However, I'm short and even on a chair I couldn't see them, so this is a blind shot. Sorry it's kind of blurry.

Wild flowers

2007-03-18T02:50:00.000-05:00

These cute little wild flowers were demanding a photo. I wish them luck in escaping a lawn mower.

Mourning Dove

2007-03-17T17:50:00.000-05:00

Every year, a pair of Mourning Doves makes a nest in this hanging plant. I really don't know why, though; half their chicks fall in the pool and drown. It's really quite sad.

Anyway, there're two eggs in there when I checked.

Sunning on a nice day

2007-03-16T22:46:00.000-05:00

Yes, it's another one of those green anoles. I watch them pretty regularly, and I like taking photos of them, too. Anyway, I thought Mary looked really happy and carefree today, so I took her photo.

New frond

2007-03-15T22:41:00.000-05:00

Ferns look so cool when they're putting out new fronds. I always find the spiral to be fascinating.

Paper clovers

2007-03-14T21:27:00.000-05:00

Krogers is doing a donation program where if you donate a few dollars, your name gets put on a clover and hung up. Look, there's even a gold one!

Select Jeeps

2007-03-13T17:29:00.000-05:00

There's a little used Jeep store located on Hwy-3 between Walker and 96 that I find rather amuzing. It started off small, with a cement slab and some jeeps... then it got a pile of dirt to display a jeep on... then some rocks and a fancy sign and, well, stuff. The jeeps are pretty cheap and they're obviously doing very well.

Also, sorry for the lack of posts recently. I was out of town for the weekend.

Best photo of me ever

2007-03-08T21:07:00.000-06:00

This really should've gone up yesterday since that was my birthday, so happy belated birthday to myself! I'm 20!

Photo credit goes to my dad.

A purple flower

2007-03-07T23:24:00.000-06:00

Sorry for the lack of posts! Today I bring you a purple flower!!!

The feeder

2007-03-05T22:34:00.000-06:00

Quick shot I took while my dad was driving when we were about to turn onto the I-45 feeder.

Chili's

2007-03-02T23:39:00.000-06:00

Chili's is a nifty little restaurant chain that's famous for its baby back ribs song that it used to play in its commercials. I'll have to take the words of others that those things are good; I don't like that kind of meat. I can say that their cheese sticks are excellent, though.

Sorry for the picture quality, my Panasonic doesn't do well in dim lighting and I didn't grab the new camera.

Car dealerships

2007-03-01T23:32:00.000-06:00

One advantage eastern Texas has over many places is the amount of flat space. Car dealerships take advantage of this. I'll never forget when I visited my sister in LA a while back being shocked at how tiny the dealerships were there; I've grown up in Texas and I'd never seen new car dealers with so little space. Well, this one Mercedes dealership takes up a nice chunk of land off of I-45 between 518 and 96, though you can't really see how much in this photo.

More flowers

2007-02-28T23:54:00.000-06:00

Today I bring you more little flowers I cannot name. At least they're pretty.

Cute flowers

2007-02-27T23:27:00.000-06:00

I honestly don't have the slightest clue what kind of flowers these are, but I thought they were adorable. They're growing in a flower bed outside of the Clear Lade Dojo and I just couldn't resist taking a photo.

They're out and about and hungry, too

2007-02-26T18:37:00.000-06:00

After a long period of cold weather (or at least what's considered cold by me), the temperature is finally in the 70's. I've made a post before on the green anoles, but I was so happy to see them out that I had to take another photo of one. Anoles hibernate during the cold and when it gets warm, they look rather hungry and grumpy and really only seem to care about eating, which is probably why this male let me get close enough for the shot.

Need a newspaper?

2007-02-25T16:03:00.000-06:00

Every Sunday, there's a group of people out on the corners of the I-45 and 518/Main intersection from morning to night selling the Sunday Houston Chronicle. It's really impressive how hard they work to sell their papers. The guy on this corner has a bunch of his papers spread out on the curb, and propped on the post there the sign says "Sunday Chronicle $1.00"

Pizza Hut

2007-02-24T20:58:00.000-06:00

To my knowledge, there's one Pizza Hut that serves most of League City and it's near Clear Creek High School. My dad and I went to pick up a pizza and since he just got himself a new camera (the old Canon Elph died) I took it for a test drive. This one's a Casio Exilim and I must say that it is a very good point and shoot camera; it's slim, quick, and all the essentials are within easy reach. I'm in love with it already. Unfortunately for my dad, the buttons are all very small, though.

Where?

2007-02-23T23:05:00.000-06:00

Better watch out for that cement, it's hard.

Taken outside the Kroger on 518 and 270.

Tuscan Lakes

2007-02-21T22:49:00.000-06:00

Tuscan Lakes is the new "master planned community" on 96. It certainly is trying to make itself different from the already established South Shore Harbor community.

The arches in the photo end outside the frame in a kind of ruin-like way, though it's way too new looking for it to really work; it needs some vines or something.

Cloudy day

2007-02-20T23:44:00.000-06:00

There was barely any blue sky today and I got hit by a few drops of rain today. By the time I took this, though, some blue was showing up occasionally in little patches.

Fact of life

2007-02-19T20:20:00.000-06:00

As long as there are roads there will be road construction. I'm not even entirely sure what they're doing here; I guess they want to make the road wider. Anyway, this is a from the 518-Marina Bay fork down 518/Deke Slayton. Clear Creek High School is just to the left of the frame.

Power lines and sunset

2007-02-18T19:00:00.000-06:00

Today the sunset looked really pretty and the moon was just a tiny little sliver. This was taken before it got too dark on Hwy 3 facing west down 96.

Also, sorry about missing yesterday. It seems that I'll be taking over completely because Maggie's having trouble taking a daily photo on MWF. I'll try to hurry up and get used to taking more photos.

Clear Lake Dojo

2007-02-16T23:51:00.000-06:00

On a little side street off of 96 you can find the Clear Lake Dojo inside a huge metal building where aikido, judo, jyodo, and iaido are taught. This is a shot of the wall with the shinzen. On the wall are the kamidana, a portrait of Hayashizaki Jinsuke Minamoto Shigenobu (the founder of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu), photos of sensei of our sensei, and more. I, for one, practice iaido there and this is a very important place for me. It's amazing what kinds of things go on in places very few people know about.

Oh no!

2007-02-15T22:10:00.000-06:00

I think I'm trying to get sick! I was fine earlier, but once I got home and started studying, my nose went wild and now I feel all... bad. I think I'll blame tomorrow's Art History and Historical Geology tests.

I really hope I'm not getting sick...

Don't see this often...

2007-02-14T20:40:00.000-06:00

Bicycles are a rarity in the Houston area. Around here, everyone drives a car. Hardly anybody walks or rides bikes, and the mass transportation system is being fought against by a group of people... you'd think Houston's government was asking for a kidney. League City is still in the "Houston area" and thus is in the same situation, only we don't have any mass transportation system at all. So, when I saw this bike that was obviously used in place of a car, I had to take a photo.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the rail system expands... it'd be awesome if they had one that went from Galveston to Houston with a stop at League City and UH.

V-Nails

2007-02-13T22:54:00.000-06:00

V-nails is a little nail place off of Hwy 3 that my mom and I go to, though I only go to get my eyebrows waxed; I kill nail polish. Over the past few years, they've been doing all sorts of things to the inside and now it's quite lovely. They even have spa-chair things you can sit in and have your back massaged by the chair while your toes are getting done.

Anyway, I thought I'd play around with the positioning in the frame... ah well. I've always thought that window was cool because it's warped.

Tullips

2007-02-11T20:04:00.000-06:00

Tullips! My dad got these for my mom for her birthday a bit ago. I'd never seen tullips before! They're cool and so very happy looking.

New Starbucks

2007-02-10T18:25:00.000-06:00

Recently (as in a few months ago), the middle of League City finally got a Starbucks, right on on of our busiest corners, Main St. and Hwy 3. I've seen people go across medians to get to this thing. Starbucks just has the magical ability to draw people to it, no matter where they are, I think.

League City Post Office

2007-02-08T23:02:00.000-06:00

Welcome to the post office. It's usually much busier than this.

Today's photo was taken by my mom, who had to mail something here. If it weren't for her, ya'll would be seeing a photo of the inside of the library again because school and work eats time. Thanks, Mom!

Main St. at night

2007-02-06T23:29:00.000-06:00

...From the Taco Bell/Pizza Hut drive through. Gotta love that Pizza Hut.

Anyway, Here you can see one of our many gas stations, the not-so-super Mattress Firm Super Center, and Whataburger, which is also my parents' favorite fast-food restaurant.

Cute grave

2007-02-04T18:20:00.000-06:00

This is one of my favorite graves in Fairview Cemetery, which Maggie and I have mentioned before. It's a very informal grave... in fact, a few other graves have the tiling like this one. I wonder why? Anyway, I like how personal and, well... loving this one looks. Many of the markers in this little cemetery have a variety of things that I guess the occupants liked when they were alive. It has a more welcoming feel to it than many other cemeteries I've been in.

Valentine's Day is coming

2007-02-03T11:49:00.000-06:00

Are you ready?

I wasn't until today, and now I'm armed with Valentine's Cards. There was a set of Disney Princesses cards in with the Super Man ones... and I thought it was amusing.

The sun came out

2007-02-02T22:04:00.000-06:00

It seems like it's been rainy and overcast forever, but today the sun came out!

Playing cards...

2007-02-01T21:08:00.000-06:00

...Is a good way to pass the time.

Sorry for all the bad photos. College and cold, rainy weather has been keeping me in as well. This one's pretty old, really... so old I won't say when it was taken. XD

DDR

2007-01-30T23:52:00.000-06:00

It's always amused me that there is Dance Dance Revolution at the library.

I'm still here!

2007-01-28T22:58:00.000-06:00

Long time no see, right? I keep completely forgetting to post. I'll cite school as an excuse, though it's also because of work, and because it rained almost the entire week. Anyway, this is yet another old photo. It's League City Elementary School. And my car gets a cameo!

Turtles in the pond

2007-01-25T23:10:00.000-06:00

It's been a while since we've seen any animals, so here are some cute turtles swimming in the pond in League Park. The pond there is fenced in, so these guys are permanent residents. I love how their little noses stick out of the water.

Lantern

2007-01-23T21:45:00.000-06:00

This is an old one that I did for my Fundamentals of Photography class. Some might recognized it because I linked the digital version of it on an earlier post... this is the film version. Anyway, the lantern is found hanging outside the front door of the Old Fig Factory in Old League City.

FYI, this was shot on T-Max 400 on a Pentax ME Super. All the white spots are the fault of my scanner... I spot toned what was the original print and there weren't many of those. I've got dust on the inside part of my scanner's glass... I photoshopped the most noticible stuff. Stupid scanner.

Milk

2007-01-22T21:16:00.000-06:00

Another old picture, I'm afraid. Saturday was too miserable to take photos after all. Also, sorry for missing Friday!

This is behind League City Elementary School. It was taken over the winter break... but there's cartons of milk in those crates! Did they just get left outside all of the break?

I think we need another book sale...

2007-01-21T21:08:00.000-06:00

The Helen Hall Library has a book sale a couple of times a year... and this is what is piled up in storage so far. Unfortunately, the poor room will have to hold out until the first weekend in May. Good luck room!

WKO?

2007-01-20T23:50:00.000-06:00

Once again, a photo taken in the projection room at the Helen Hall Library. There were some projector accessory boxes setting on the counter and I thought they were kind of cool.

Jingle my Tengu

2007-01-18T22:05:00.000-06:00

So... Maggie decided to jingle the tengu bell on my digital camera's bag and told me that she was jingling my tengu, which sounds wrong in a way. XD Here's a photo. This all happened in the projection room in the Helen Hall Library before the anime club.

I'll post some better ones soon, I'm sure. :D

Fence

2007-01-17T21:47:00.000-06:00

I'm even busier than I thought I would be with school, and it was only the second day today. Besides that, it's been too miserable to get out and take photos the past couple of days. So, here's another photo of that baseball field I posted a bit ago. Sorry it's not very good. Rain or shine, I'll go on another photo-taking mission this weekend!

This shouldn't be allowed

2007-01-16T23:00:00.000-06:00

It's not supposed to get this cold this far south in Texas.

Brash'n'Sassy

2007-01-15T22:58:00.000-06:00

The center of League City is Main Street, along which can be found lots of cute little shops. Unfortunately, it looks like this particular shop has closed, judging by the "For Rent" sign in the window.

Tomorrow's back to school for Li and I. We'll work hard to make sure we still get to take lots of pictures for you all, though!

Carnage!

2007-01-14T23:59:00.000-06:00

I've mentioned this photo to many people, but I've never shown it to anyone, so here it is. Eli, one of Maggie's dolls, spent the night and I played with some of my toys... the result was that only the Star Wars toys were left standing, and Eli looked rather worried.

And if ya'll are wondering, this post is not, in fact, backdated! I really did get this right at 11:59. XD

Branwen

2007-01-12T23:59:00.000-06:00

I couldn't resist posting another picture of one of my dolls. This is Branwen again. I finished up her newest outfit today, and I'm very happy with how it turned out so I can't help but want to show her off.

Warm tree

2007-01-11T22:53:00.000-06:00

Everytime I see this tree, I think it looks like it has a big sweater on, and I see if very often. Those vines have creeped up the trunk over the past several years and now they've completely covered most of the main trunk part.

History

2007-01-10T23:59:00.000-06:00

Texas loves its history, and the Texas Historical Commission has historic markers all over the state. I believe there are at least three in League City. This is the one in League Park, explaining a bit of the history of the city and the park itself. If you click on the image you should be able to read it!

Fairview Cemetary

2007-01-09T23:55:00.000-06:00

Fairview Cemetary is one of our historic Cemetaries in town. It isn't that big, but several of the graves are from the early 1900's. Unfortunately, the bright blue and yellow trash cans kind of stick out.

Hitching Post

2007-01-08T22:40:00.000-06:00

This is back by the shopping center I posted a picture of last Wednesday. They put hitching posts up to add to the "old west" feel of the place, though the image is kind of ruined by the pavement and the garden hose, I think.

Baseball

2007-01-07T21:29:00.000-06:00

Near League City Elementary School are League City's old Little League fields. They're still used occasionally, but more recently a larger complex of fields based on famous major league stadiums was built elsewhere. I remember when my brothers used to play Little League, so I prefer these old fields myself.

That's now how you use a see-saw

2007-01-06T23:17:00.000-06:00

I'm still mostly sitting around in the house feeling bad, though I am better than I was. Anyway, here's an old one, taken once again in League Park, of Maggie's feet on the center of one of the see-saws.

Church

2007-01-05T10:34:00.000-06:00

This is the old Saint Mary's Catholic Church in downtown League City (across the street from Helen's Gardens). It's still used occasionally for weddings, but the congregation has long outgrown it. One of these days I'll post a pictures of its second building and the current one.

Bridge on the playground

2007-01-04T23:55:00.000-06:00

Another shot at League Park! The main play area is pretty big; there're all kinds of things kids can wear themselves out on. Here you can see one of the slides, the bridge, and the strange, circular monkey bars. There used to be a completely different one when I was little, but I don't really remember it that well... I want to say it was wood and metal, though.

Old West

2007-01-03T23:59:00.000-06:00

Beside League Park, someone built a shopping center made to look like an old Western town, complete with false fronts and a psuedo-wooden sidewalk (it's really concrete with board lines etched into it, and painted brown). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be doing very well. Some of the shops are still empty.

League Park

2007-01-02T18:45:00.000-06:00

To go to the parking for League Park, you have to take this all the way around the park. For some reason, there isn't a direct entrance to the park off Main st.

Empty

2007-01-01T23:45:00.000-06:00

Happy New Year!

This is one of the stands at the Little League fields by League City Elementary.

Train tracks

2006-12-31T21:20:00.000-06:00

These are train tracks which run through old League City. In the early 1900s there were quite a few major railroad lines running through the city, but these days you only really see trains when you're in a hurry to get somewhere.

This is the last post of the year, so I hope everyone had a wonderful 2006 and has an even better 2007!

Little Girl

2006-12-30T18:49:00.000-06:00

Another old one! Like the one of the pipe, this one is one of my first Fundamentals of Photography assignments. Unfortunately, I didn't know about dodging and burning at the time, but ah well. Taken on the Pentax ME Super on T-MAX 400 film.

Anyway, this was taken in the neighborhood park. There were some children there with their grandfather and he didn't mind me taking photos.

Too much YuGiOh

2006-12-29T23:55:00.000-06:00

Welcome to the card section of Walmart. I frequent the trading card game area thing and I'm always amazed by how many YuGiOh cards they have. I mean... wow. I feel sorry for mothers and fathers of YuGiOh kids. Just so ya'll know, I check there for Pirates cards and occasionally Magic the Gathering... which I don't play anymore, but I keep saying I will. I also go to Horizon Games... but that's not in League City. Too bad there are no stores in League City that sell Reaper Minis.

CVS

2006-12-28T17:19:00.000-06:00

This is a photo of the CVS over in the South Shore area.

Sorry, it's an older photo. I'm sick right now and can't really get out to take something nicer...

Public Library

2006-12-27T21:21:00.000-06:00

The "Public Library" sign outside work, and a bit of the intersection of Highway 3 and Walker Street. My car's in the shop so I haven't been able to go out this week to take more photos as I'd planned.

Last day of the Christmas Tree

2006-12-26T23:47:00.000-06:00

I didn't get to say it yesterday, so I'll say it today. Merry (late) Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

2006-12-25T17:34:00.001-06:00

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it!

Waiting for Christmas

2006-12-24T20:00:00.000-06:00

It's Christmas Eve and the girls can't wait until Christmas! Neither can I!

The Salvation Army has moved out!

2006-12-23T19:26:00.000-06:00

Yep, it's that time of the year. Your chance to get rid some of that change for a better cause or whatever. This nice lady was outside the Walmart off I45 and... I forgot what it was called! Anyway, it's the only Walmart in League City.

Friday: Christmas Tree

2006-12-22T18:21:00.000-06:00

This is the League City Christmas Tree, or, as my dad says, the "Christmas bush." It's outside the City complex, where City Hall, the library, the court, and the police station are located.

Leaf footed bug

2006-12-21T21:36:00.000-06:00

Behold the Leaf Footed Bug, or Coreidae. Like the lizards and spiders I've posted, these guys are very common around here and are quite large. Many people think that these are stink bugs, but those are really the little sheild-shaped green bugs, though these do have scent glands...

Wednesday: Lights

2006-12-20T19:39:00.000-06:00

I think I need to experiment with my camera to find out if I have a setting that will take photos of Christmas lights at night decently.

Dog doctor

2006-12-19T17:45:00.000-06:00

This little statue is located in the flowerbeds infront of the Animal Medical Group on the corner of 518/Main and Louisiana near Clear Creek High School. This little guy's been sitting out there since we started taking our dog to this place. Kobie, unfortunately, had to get a couple of shots.

Monday: Leaves

2006-12-18T11:42:00.000-06:00

Many trees don't get colorful in the fall around here, but some do! Others don't even lose their leaves until much later, usually in the spring when the new growth starts. That said, it still doesn't feel like December around here. Temperatures have been in the high seventies all week (that's 24~26°C, I believe). And sunny! I have to drive with my air conditioner on.

White trees

2006-12-17T23:32:00.000-06:00

These trees were set up for a while in the Helen Hall Library's theater and were specifically for the open house we had a bit ago. They're really pretty.

Anole

2006-12-16T14:14:00.000-06:00

This is a female Green or Carolina Anole. They're a native species of lizard that lives in the southern part of North America and are very common around here. They're usually green, but they turn brown when they're under stress or are too hot or too cold.

I absolutely love lizards and often spend time sitting around the back yard watching them. They're very curious and playful if they don't know you're there.

Friday: Christmas

2006-12-15T17:13:00.000-06:00

Sorry about missing Wednesday! And every other day I've missed. I actually took this picture for Wednesday's post but obviously I forgot about posting. This is one a house around the corner from where I live. Those big inflatable Christmas decorations are really popular. There's Halloween ones, too. For some reason, though, there are also a lot of people who really hate them. I think they're cute in moderation, but having three like this is a little much. How are you going to mow your lawn?

Another jeweled Spider

2006-12-14T18:58:00.000-06:00

Another one of these spiders decided to set up a web near the garage, only this one's higher up and out of the way and she's a deep red-orange instead of a bright yellow. FYI, These spiders are really very common around here... or at least around my house. I looked them up and it turns out that they're called Jewel or jeweled Spiders, Latin name Astracantha minax.

Here's a small article and here're some more sightings.

Also, the anoles (a local lizard) are out and about again since it's warming up, but they're all so skinny from hibernating! I'll try and get a photo of one if they put on some more weight before a front comes through.

Cool paint job

2006-12-12T19:14:00.000-06:00

This car was in the in the Walmart parking lot! I thought it had a rather nifty paint job... it caught my eye. I've never seen this car before, though...

Monday: Davy

2006-12-11T23:39:00.000-06:00

Davy Jones is unsure what to make of this strange, large-headed creature.

Kind of a stupid photo today!

Christmas lights

2006-12-10T23:55:00.000-06:00

Christmas lights! There are so many of them everywhere... but they'll all be gone soon. I'm glad we have all the lights we need right now.

Dojo Christmas party

2006-12-09T22:11:00.000-06:00

Today was the Christmas party at the Clear Lake Dojo. There was turkey, ham, and the rest people brought. This beer trash can cooler/dispenser seemed to be the highlight of the party as far as the judo and aikido boys were concerned.

Friday: Moe

2006-12-08T18:17:00.000-06:00

A while back Ali posted some vague pictures of her Pinky:St toys, and now here's one of mine! I recently realized that some of my dad's bonsai are the perfect size for them. Sorry the lighting is bad in the picture. It just gets dark too early these days!

This little girl's name is Moe, by the way. It's pronounced like "mo-eh" rather than like the Three Stooges' Moe.

Fallen spider

2006-12-07T20:11:00.000-06:00

This little guy had a nice-sized web going behind the garage... but then it got too big. I didn't my dog, Kobie, walking into the web and tracking the spider in and I certainly didn't want to walk into it, so I had to knock it down. I'm sure this little spider'll find a better place to build a web.

On another note, isn't it a really pretty yellow?

Car on a stick

2006-12-06T23:18:00.000-06:00

This is the car on a stick. It's located off 518/Main near the Valero with the cheapest gas. It's just a car chassis turned sign. :D

Syrup parade

2006-12-05T18:52:00.000-06:00

I was in Walmart (the new one off 45 in south League City) today and when I came around the corner into the aisle... there were these syrup bottles all nicely lined up. Unfortunately, I only had the Elph with me and I suck at shooting on automatic... please forgive the focus.

Monday: Old school

2006-12-04T17:23:00.000-06:00

Last week I went to my old high school, which they've been rebuilding the past couple of years. They've pretty much demolished all the original buildings. I could hardly even remember where anything used to be. Behind the tree is the library, one of the few things still standing. The building on the right is entirely new. On the other side of those bushes is where my friends and I used to hang out between classes.

Sunday: Hole

2006-12-03T23:06:00.000-06:00

On Saturday while we were cleaning in the attic my dad managed to put a hole in the ceiling.

Standee!

2006-12-02T22:59:00.000-06:00

This is a nifty standee for the Spiderwick Chronicles! I love DiTerlizzi!
