What Birds Do during Hurricanes and Tropical Storms
When we were stuck at home in Houston hearing Tropical Storm Harvey’s abusive rain and wind from outside for several days, many birds were taking shelter in our large trees in our front yard.
Hamilton Pool – a cool oasis in Texas summer heat
As the Texas summer is seriously heating up, convincing your friend who hates extreme temperatures to go out for outdoor activities is not easy. Check out Hamilton Pool near Austin, Texas.
An orphaned bird or not – Knowing about the baby bird on the ground
Every year in the spring, we have a few fledglings (young birds that have grown their flight feathers to make the first flight) on their flight lessons in our yard. What many people do not know when they find feathered young birds on the ground is that it’s possible that they are not orphaned birds.
Photo Of The Day: A Brown Pelican in Black and White
Whenever I go out to take pictures of wildlife, first I am fascinated by the colors of their feathers, fur, or whatever their appearance might be. I love colors in nature. I truly enjoy them. However, occasionally, there is a moment when I want to mute the colors.
Photo Of The Day: Dallas Red Lantana – Happy National Gardening Week!
Gardening is something that I enjoy everyday. Whenever I do not have time to drive hours to enjoy nature in the wild, I step outside in our garden and take care of our plants, trees, and bird feeders.
Photo Of The Day: Windy East Meadow in Rocky Mountain National Park
I was looking through my pictures from last year, and found out that this image was not posted on my website. The picture is from my trip to Colorado last year – We went for a hike in East Inlet Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park in mid-October.

One of my favorite lazy afternoon scenes from a couple of years ago – White Pelicans hanging out in the peaceful winter sky.
The Woodlands Market Street Spring Art Show
A bald cypress forest from Caddo Lake, Texas, is one of my images displayed as a canvas wrap at The Woodlands Market Street Fine Art Show. It’s time for one of my most favorite art shows in the greater Houston area – The Woodlands Market Street Spring Fine Art Show! As a nature lover, I admire The Woodlands — a beautiful town designed to incorporate native nature and trees in its landscape. As the community has developed, the town retained many trees originally growing on the land instead of knocking them down. I always enjoy their nice shade under the canopy of trees and a feeling of being surrounded by nature everywhere I go. This Saturday many local artists (me too!) showcase their art at a Central Park in the town of The Woodlands. Here is the information of The Woodlands Market Street Fine Art Show – When: May 6, 2017 From 10am to 7pm (If it’s rained out, the show will be held on May 13 instead. ) Location: Central Park at Market Street (9595 Six Pines Dr, The Woodlands, TX 77380, the park is at the center of the shopping area). Check out the map here . Hope I see…
Photo Of The Day: A Moon Over Lake Somerville, Texas
I visited Lake Somerville State Park in Texas a week ago and found out that they were still suffering from the damages brought by heavy rain in this May and October. Lots of trees were still submerged in water, and most parts of the park were closed. It rained a lot this year in Texas, and many parks had to close for a while — Hope Lake Somerville will recover from the damages soon. Regardless of the limited accessibility at the park, I was able to enjoy the beauty of Somerville Lake. I found a bald eagle flying in the middle of a trail, being ready for fishing in the lake. And the sunset color reflecting on the lake was so beautiful! With a moon shining in the sky, the scene was very dreamy and serene.
