I was going through my images from Houston and found a few more birds that I could have included in the two previous posts. With those, I decided to also add some of our personal photos from our last evening there. Shannon and Scott decided that on Saturday night they would fix a fire in the pit, and with the children, we would roast ‘s’mores’. This all took place right next to their creek.

Scott, Shannon’s hunk husband getting the firepit ready.
Shannon’s mother, Jane, was also in attendance but I didn’t get any photos of her or the children. I am sorry about that, but at that time I hadn’t anticipated that I would be putting them in a blog.
During our stay we saw two life birds, a Pileated Woodpecker and a White-tailed Hawk. No photographs of either, not quick enough on the shutter. Click on any image to see enlargements.
