At an end

My holiday cruise had to come to an end at some time. It was great fun though and a nice break from cold Canada. The man working out on the tarmac waved to me after I got this shot at the Houston Hobby airport. Photo taken in December 2011.

Just my size

I found this selection of water fountains inside the Houston Hobby airport. I think it's great they have tried to accommodate people of all sizes! Plus you've got a bonus reflection of the sports bar across the way! Photo taken in December 2011. For more reflections, visit Weekend Reflections.

Oh what a beautiful morning!

I spent the holidays with my husband and mother-in-law on a Caribbean cruise. This beautiful sunrise greeted us in Galveston on the day of our departure. It was a good sign of the days to come! Photo taken in December 2011.

French connection

Texas has long-standing ties with France, it was actually once a French colony. I spotted these fleur de lys in the floor of the state capitol in Austin. Photo taken in July 2010.
