Houston Street Art and One Alligator


The alligator.

Houston

As we drove around Houston with our friends Eleanor and Roger last Sunday, I took photos of street art whenever I could. I’m sharing this post with Sami’s Monday Murals. Now I’m just about finished with my Texas photos — just a few more street art photos for next week.

The alligator wasn’t very close by. I have a telephoto lens on the camera for birds, and it also works for alligators.

You always find the best street art in the places you travel, Mae. I love that mural of the women carrying the houses. I hope you have a great week!

I like the mural, but I really love those utilityboxes. When they are painted, they almost always make the street a lot more beautiful

You found some wonderful street art Mae. I also like the sculpture of the woman with the pineapple above the door :) Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae.

The creative spirit is alive and well, it seems.

Houston looks to be a very artistically exciting city. There are some wonderful ones here.

I am especially fond of the first one, but they are all great and appear to represent areas in and around Houston. Scary alligator.
