It's been a soggy and stormy week in Houston. 🌩️🌧️⛈️🌧️🌧️ Today as I left work the view was incredible with Tropical Storm Imelda's dark rain clouds ominiously hovering. Obviously I couldn't take a photo while driving, so instead here's a blue sky view I snapped a few weeks ago in stand-still traffic. Rain and shine, I very much love this city. #merinboomtown #texasgodblessit (at Downtown Houston) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2lBy3-lkaqm-k9aXupzVqMRA_RetDzRQswhCk0/?igshid=thcw21ep7p34

Sunday morning magic: 66° and silly faces and the best darn black beans I've ever tasted. Houston, I'm smitten with you. 😍#merinboomtown #texasgodblessit (at Spanish Flowers Mexican Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrdXc_zFpYqeAodoGZ7r2-nI90ZJ-hWA-tQ0t40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14dcl63a0zhok
Work perk of driving to the Coastal Bend region of Texas: birding along the drive. 🦆🦅🐦 Of note today, I spotted countless hawks, 3 crested caracara, lots of herons & egrets, shorebirds, and a kingfisher!! 🙌🏼 Then while stopped in a construction zone, there was an osprey perched on a pole and – swipe to next photos – as it flew away, I saw a fish in it's feet!!! #texasgodblessit #nexttimeiwillbringarealcamera (at Texas's 27th Congressional District) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRnxhgFZ9RC8hS8Z9l2ol5xxMy8AE__mCG9bI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1olfhid1oge54
Wherein Thanksgiving week travels include special purchases for relatives in the land of mediocre tortillas, and local relatives have a tendency to micromanage. 😆 #texasgodblessit #totallyfinedontevenworryaboutit (at El Bolillo Bakery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaYkRNFYcpnrTkI8K3W5DQIQaTR-f4pCGs6780/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2mwgpuzepqpt
