Pic Of The Day - 03.08.15 - The Empty Bicycle

At the corner of Westheimer and Dunlavy is the bicycle. It's painted white, adorned with flowers and chained to a pole. It's a memorial to a young lady who riding her bicycle at that intersection and was struck by a fire engine and was killed.

Pic Of The Day - 03.07.15 - Endings and Beginnings

I attended a memorial service for a former co-worker who recently passed away. It's a sad situation because she leaves behind two teenage children and another teenager that she took in under her wings.

The service was the opportunity to gather as friends and family and memorialize her life. It was symbolic of an ending and the opportunity to collectively say, "Good-bye."

In the parking lot I noticed a tree that was beginning to blossom. Spring is almost here. It's a time for new beginnings. And the tree reminded me that as one life ends a new one begins.

Pic Of The Day - 03.06.15 - National Cheesecake Day

One of my co-workers made this cheesecake to observe National Cheesecake Day. I can honestly say that this is the best cheesecake I've ever tasted and now sets the standard for all future cheesecakes.

We've been having some gloomy weather in H-town and days like Thursday make you appreciate the sun.

This was the view from my office building of the Houston downtown skyline.

This was delivered to the office on Wednesday.

(No) Pic Of The Day - 03.03.15 - (blank)

It was a busy day and I meant to take a photo of some Carolina Jasmine but I didn't. And then I meant to take a photo of my groceries that I purchased at HEB but I didn't. And then I fell asleep and it was tomorrow.

So the lesson is, take a photo of it while you're thinking about it or else you never will.

And we'll count this as the first day of the year that I didn't take a photo. And with this post, I AM caught up!

Pic Of The Day - 03.02.15 - Pinball Stained Glass

You may have noticed that I normally don't post photos in their original size or leave them very large. However, due to my creative genius and with the assistance of PhotoGrid, I created this stained glass window by using photos of three different pinball machines at Hay Merchant. It is too pretty to leave in small form.
