These art works, carved by Harold Van Pelt, were on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I found them fascinating.

I came across this “rock” flower while walking on a trail in Chalk Ridge Falls Park, Texas. A couple of the petal stones had been dislodged, so I put them back and left the flower for other hikers to enjoy.
