his moment of indecision

He just didn’t know which way to go. I mean, I get it – I am frequently flummoxed by that exact thing.

But the real mystery here is how that water bottle ended up there on what seems to be an inaccessible ledge.

*OK. So it was actually the evening light rail to the Fannin South Transit Center, 30 minutes away. But still.

Naturally, when you’ve got a conference in Houston, and the conference hotel is the one with the rotating bar on the top floor, you have to check it out.

Art Fan/Fan Art

You know, of course, that I like to look around the backs of things. And I also like to look up – ceilings are more interesting than maybe you’d think. This lovely ceiling-plus-skylight-plus-fan was inside an artist’s studio at Houston’s Silo at Sawyer Yards.

Alternating Current

And here we are in Houston, at a very cool art space called The Silos at Sawyer Yards; it’s an area of old warehouses and silos and etc. that have been repurposed as arts spaces. As it happened, our visit coincided with the monthly Second Saturday event, when studios are open, so we were able to look at art and visit with the artists.

The Silos are part of a larger arts area in Houston – you can read about that right here.

And, if you do have a reason to go to Houston, think about adding this to your itinerary. And if you don’t have a reason to go to Houston, a visit to to Sawyer Yards and all the adjacent artsy stuff is reason enough to plan a visit.
