I know I haven’t posted in a while - the past couple of months have been chaotic to say the least. I was just looking through my photo collection and realized I’ve never put any pictures of San Antonio up here. It’s my hometown, where I grew up and went to college. It has it’s pretty parts which I’d like to share with whoever is paying attention.

Before the rain returned, we got a chance to hit up downtown Willow Springs yesterday. Being a poor rural town, there are lots of old decrepit buildings, crumbling houses and barns. We walked down Main Street which is lined with two-story brick buildings, most of which are empty, a few scary restaurants and a pleasant little park that was filled with dogwood trees. The buildings were painted with murals and advertisements about a million and a half years ago so it made for good picture takin’.

With the nasty weather behind us, we’ve been able to make it out of the house a little bit over the past week. We managed to make a pit stop in a cute little town named Houston, about 30 miles north of where we live, yesterday. We got the chance to roam around downtown for a short time, but only to hit up the famous Forbes Pharmacy Soda Fountain. It was a little odd to find this cute little ice cream parlor in the back of a large pharmacy but it made up for it with it’s old fashioned charm and yummy desserts.

I use Lightroom to import and manipulate all my images. After I use an image here or elsewhere on the web, I tend to export it out of Lightroom just because it makes my life easier.

I can’t seem to help it. I always have to take pics of anything green. It’s a moral imperative, even though I’m not sure why. Cacti and succulents are my favorite so I thought I’d share a few…

We ventured into the Inner Richmond district today to tackle the Columbarium, the oldest building of its kind in the country. This unique mausoleum is right on the edge of a crowded neighborhood off of Geary Blvd., one of the busiest streets in the city. This four story architectural marvel used to sit at the center of a 67 acre graveyard that was built in 1897.

Yesterday, there was a brief break in the rain so I decided if I was going to get pics of anything at all, they would have to be of our backyard. We have a giant rose bush that is about to bloom and the entire yard is covered in a thick layer of moss from all the moisture. Lot of good textures found as well. I can’t wait for Spring, it’s going to be beautiful! More after the jump…
