Once a week or so I go visit the ducks behind the office building off of Highway 249 in Tomball, TX.  The office building has a lake behind it.  A dozen or so ducks live there and it is a great way to unwind at lunch to go and watch the ducks at their private lake. This time I remembered the bread that I had promised them. Here some of them have realized I was passing out free food and were interested. The feathers on the white one below look so soft and brilliantly white. While most ducks swim across, this one chose to fly over. The colors on the feathers on this one are such a pretty teal color.  They are amazing to watch.  I really enjoy going over there to see them.  I'm anxious to see if there will be any baby ducks soon.

The 10th Annual Tomball German Heritage Festival will be taking place on March 26th through the 28th.  The 19thCentury saw a big influx of immigrants from Germany and Austria to the Tomball area.  They created a community and this is the time to come and celebrate the German heritage that flows through the area.  The celebration is always held the last weekend of March and has become a tradition.  The event will take place in the historic downtown section of Tomball, near the 200 block of Main street (FM 2920) and Market Street.  The wonderful thing about his celebration is that it is FREE!!    Admission to the event and parking are both free of charge.

Here are some pictures I took of the Tomball Wild Life at dusk on Saturday night.  The goat is so cute.  It has the most adorable little floppy ears.  My sister-in-law has horses, and she also has goats which she says keep the horses company.  This is the view of the sunset from my office.  This was taken on Saturday March 13th. Now both the goat and the donkey, mule or whatever he is, are both looking into the flash.  They are not trained very well.  But you can see the goat flicking his ears. Another sunset picture.  The colors were so vivid that night. The daddy was head butting the baby to keep him out of the picture.  A very protective daddy.

The Annual Spring Fling was held at Lone Star College -- Tomball campus Thursday March 11th, 2010.  All students and faculty were invited.  The theme this year was western.  There was even a longhorn balloon near the top of the balloon rainbow. This was the tent for bailing out people put in mock jail. Below is the saloon (see the cute doors) and the picture posing place. Here a cowboy is sitting in front of a western landscape on his hay bale.  I think I've been to where the picture was taken, but I can't remember which National Park it is. Here a student enjoying riding the mechanical bull.  There was a nice soft rubber raft to catch people after they fell off the bull. They also had roping with the hay bale bull below.  It reminds me of the roping that was done on "The Amazing Race"....

Do you know what kind of trees these are?  I have been searching and the closest I can find is pears, crabapples or dogwood.  The first tree is slightly different then the second and third pictures, so it may be two different kinds of trees. The picture above was taken in Heatherwood Village in Houston, Texas which is adjacent to Loutta Road.  On the other side of Louetta, the city is considered Tomball. These trees are in Tomball on the side of Loew's in Tomball off of the new FM249.  I acually did a blog last fall about these trees with their beautiful gold and red foliage before the leaves fell off.  I thought they were birch trees, but the pictures don't match birch trees on the internet.  Here is what the flowers look like up close. They are very cute, and they have a slight unplea...
