About Me

My photo
Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

Sunshine...

enjoy while you can. Next week should bring....snow again at Christmas, even!
Maybe even more than what fell the other day.
Finally have transfered the photos from the recent San Antonio trip.. here are a few for you!
McNay Museum Front and wing
which houses bronzes

Alexander Liberman (born Russia 1912-1999) ASCENT 1970


a cheery sight on a dreary day for sure!

And below what reminded us of a 'goalie cage' LOL, unfortunately forgot the name of sculptor

Now to my favorite Mission, San Francisco De Espada,built around 1713

and Brother Jerome's famous green thumb-with the profusion of plants, that should be THUMBS :-) This is the cloister which is STILL inhabited by Brother Jerome..

Inside the church with original wooden beamed ceiling and statues.

And 'ye olde cotton gin' now housing the Sistercreek winery
