Some recent photographic efforts

Recent photographs from various venues.

Random shots this morning while running an errand.

Merry Christmas. Ya'll!

Got up early for  a doctor appointment only to find it was cancelled, so I went out and found some scenes to photograph.
These are at an old dairy that has been closed for years. The barn is sliding down.

January 13th, Friday the Thirtee
nth, I visited the Alvin Opry to hear a friend sing. The Opry is just around the corner from our house, but I had never been there in its 25 or so years of its     existence                                                                                                                                                                                  http://www.alvinopry.com/
Cherie Devine came on early in the show and was GREAT! She sang a song she had written about Friday the Thirteenth,  Elvis's "You Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog" , and Patsy Cline's "Crazy".

Old Methodist Church in Alvin, Texas

This is the church I attended as a youth in my home town. It has been several venues since the original congregation built a new church in about 1959.
It has been a fantasy of mine to win the lottery some day and buy this building. It should be restored and used for some purpose, whether it be a church or a theatre.

Alvin, Texas Historical Museum

Our museum opened yesterday, May 20, 2007, after many years of work by many volunteers. It has been a long process, but worth all the effort.

“You don’t want to miss the dramatic life-size birch wood carving of Alvin Morgan, his dog and his goose. They went everywhere together,” Brothers said. Alvin is named for the colorful and much-loved Morgan.

as reported in the Brazosport Facts newspaper.

The ribbon Cutting was performed by Gary Appelt, Mayor of Alvin, Miss Cleo Congady, President of the Museum Society, and Tommy Peebles, head of Accessions for the museum.

The Museum is in the old Post Office building in Alvin, Texas.
Here is a photoshow of the opening-
