Weekly Photo Challenge: Masterpiece

Certainly lots of images came to mind when this week’s weekly photo challenge, Masterpiece, showed up in my inbox. Art works from over the centuries could provide thousands of examples. However, as I respect the signs in galleries and museums that prohibit picture taking, I don’t have any photographs of them.

Mother Nature has the advantage in this category, anyway. (And the Houston Museum of Natural Science allows photographs in this exhibit.)

Our Internet service provider experienced “some difficulties” sometime Monday night when there were storms in the area and we’ve been without Internet access. We now have a temporary workaround, thanks to hubby, but the downtime threw me off my posting schedule. I don’t have a white flag to indicate our surrender to the delicacy of our Internet connection, so here is a white feather instead.

I visited with my friend Susan Miller recently. She lives in a heavily-wooded area that she appropriately named The Nature Channel. There was constant activity at the hummingbird and bird feeders while I was there: chickadees, cardinals, white wing doves, a roadrunner, a male and female ladder back woodpecker, hummingbirds, squirrels, bees. In this photo there is a squirrel at one feeder and some doves at the other.

Everything is green on the Texas Capitol grounds with the recent rain.
