Travel by on the weekend and you will see wedding photo's and quenciera photo's being taken around every corner. If you are near the Houston Zoo or any of the museums, it is worth it to walk over and be sure to have your camera for your own photo opportunities! More

great spot to sketch, or just to breathe. Take a few moments to slide off the path behind some of the artwork to view from a different angle. More
