Views of the Neighborhood – Community Spirit
Continuing with my thoughts on maintaining a positive focus regarding Hurricane Harvey, I am featuring three separate groups who have set up relief points in town.

Views of the Neighborhood – Harvey Update
I started out to capture the after photos of some of the places that I have featured on my blog. As you’ll recall, almost all of the photos shown were colorful and full of fun. After taking a number of the after shots, I simply stopped. Seeing these places as they appear now doesn’t capture […]

The area was named after early resident Charlie Bujan who allowed the locals to graze their cattle on his property.
