This relaxing scene was photographed in Hawaii. I call it "Made in the shade."

A picture of a building from my younger days.
Spend time in that place when I was a kid. The Elk Store, Elk general store from Elk Texas. About a half a mile from the old Mt Carmel Branch Davidian Compound.

Baobab Trees with Mt Kilimanjaro Snow in Background.
Sorry for the dirt specks, this is from a slide I took at a sugar plantation in Tanzania in the 70s.
The Baobab are strangely beautiful trees, they are fortunate too, their wood is soft so they are not cut for lumber.

The Kimberly Mine is in my neighborhood. The property owners life out of state and a close friend is the caretaker.
Geof is the one who gives me permission to ride and explore the 3000 acres.

This is the Bonanza Jones Road. It was built to bring timber down to town. The timber business employed more men than the mining company did.
This is all that's left of the original mill. It partially collapsed in 1989.
I took this picture from across the canyon
This was the mill that was built to replace the original mill. I'm not sure what year it was built.

Other than myself and a few friends that I have taken across this old road I don't think anyone has been on it for a lot of years.
Its one of my favorite rides and I do it several times a year.

Wnt out for a bit
Mom is a Master Naturalist and Master Gardner. She and a lot of other people in the Ft Bend County chapters of those organizations have been keeping up a butterfly garden in the Seabourne Creek nature park a ways south of us. All of them have been itching to get back at it but the quarantine has kept that from happening.
She and I went out there yesterday to check the state of the garden and also to see how the oak tree I grew from a acorn and donated to the park was doing. It was about my height and fairly scrawny when it was planted just off the lake near the butterfly garden. Th elast time I checked it there was no change in size over the 6 months it had been in the ground. This spring it looks to have had a nice growth spurt. This red oak now stands 2 or 3 feet taller than me and has bushed out a fair bit.
I am looking forward to seeing it in my dotage. Should be as big and healthy as it's parent tree behind our garage. Mom wants to get a plaque with Dads name on it. I am thinking of getting a nice piece of granite engraved for it.
While I was there I had my camera as usual and took a few shots. This one is the favorite from yesterday.
