Weekly Photo Challenge: The World Through Your Eyes

Here’s what “stuck in traffic” looks like to me. Somehow my lot in life is to be behind a larger vehicle anytime traffic is slower than normal or stopped. I can’t see ahead to figure out if I should change lanes or not. Usually I don’t, only to find that when the larger vehicle in front of me changes lanes, I’m then right behind the traffic hazard (stalled vehicle, emergency vehicle, etc.).

This is my view when I take my morning break and walk around the Texas Capitol grounds. Beautiful trees: a pink crape myrtle against the backdrop of a majestic pecan tree.

My view of the night sky. I took this photo on Monday, 24 June 2013, early in the morning as I walked to my office building. I took a moment to appreciate this chance encounter.

A view of a statue on the Texas Capitol grounds. (Look through the windows.)

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.
