I operate a small hotel (and 501c3) in Southeast Texas and I would like for some of y’all to come visit - call it an Artist in Residence. At this point, it is just an idea and my wish however, I would like to make it reality. I’m looking for some advice and best practices on how to make it work.

All the state parks were closed today, so our Christmas afternoon walk (sunny, 71 F) was in Brumley Nature Preserve North. Saw a kingfisher and some interesting trees growing after being completely flattened in a storm.
A field with tall, golden grasses and dark woodland in the distance. Trees silhouetted against a blue sky with dry goldenrods in the distance. A tree that has fallen flat. It retained enough roots in the ground to survive and grow a new trunk at 90 degrees to the old trunk. Bizarre lichens growing on a branch.

I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder.

Forest path

#landscape #nature #photography
A narrow path covered in fallen pine needles, winding through a dense coniferous forest. The forest is dominated by slender, vertical trunks. The bark shows textures of grey and brown, with patches of bright green moss and orange lichen clinging to the base of many trees.

Merry Christmas to all!
The Heavy Reality of Christmas A vertical urban street photograph of a brick storefront labeled "Botanica Elegua" adorned with festive holiday inflatables. In the foreground, a vibrant red Santa and a white bear stand in the shadows of the building, while Minnie and Mickey Mouse figures, wrapped in protective clear plastic, catch the direct morning light. The scene is bisected by a network of heavy black power lines and a thick yellow support cable that cuts across the store sign and the figures. The asphalt street in the foreground is littered with brown winter leaves, and the background shows a quiet neighborhood road under a bright, pale sky. The image captures the tension between festive holiday "magic" and the cluttered, mundane infrastructure of the city.
