“Morning” Cedar Park, 2020
A Visit to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
“Viewing Triptych” Houston, 2020
I’d never been to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston before, so I was excited to visit today. There was an exhibit of Francis Bacon’s later work which was pretty good. I was not familiar with his work, so it was a nice education. But what I really enjoyed was the permanent collection on the 2nd floor.
“Slaying the Minotaur” Houston, 2020
This Greek wine vase was very interesting to me because I just recently finished the novel Circe, so I was familiar with the characters shown in the painting: Ariadne, Theseus, the Minotaur, and Daedalus. I love the style of these Greek depictions.
“Matisse” Houston, 2020
One of my favorite artists is Henri Matisse so it was thrilling to see two of his paintings. I especially love his line work in the faces of his subjects.
“Virgin of The Annunciation” Houston, 2020
I’m not so interested in religious depictions, but I thought this painting by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo was excellent.
I would have liked to stay longer in the museum to look at the paintings more closely, but sadly it closed at 5 pm. I guess I’ll just have to come back again! 😊

Tamale Dinner
“Tamales” Cedar Park, 2020
Our freezer is full of various tamales acquired around Christmas. Even after tonight’s yummy dinner, we still have enough for a couple more. The gift that keeps on giving. 😄
Hiking Inks Lake State Park, Texas
“Trail Signs” Burnet, 2020
こんばんは。How’s it going?
This morning I did a bit of hiking at Inks Lake State Park, which is about an hour away from our house. There’s a nice group of trails that meander around the hills just south of the lake, and also several primitive campsites that I wanted to check out. I also wanted to try my hand at making a hiking video using my Fujifilm X100T and tripod. I think it turned out pretty good for a first attempt! Please check it out:
On a side note, I noticed that there was a nice representation of Subarus at the trail-head. In fact, the only other car when I arrived was this brand-new Forester. And when I left, a much older Forester was parked next to me. It’s fun to be part of the Subaru family!
