Galveston Oak Carvings

Today I went to Galveston. When hurricane Ike struck many
of the 80-100 year old oak trees were destroyed. Some were
carved to remind us of the great things that once stood.
This one of the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. One of
the directors of the movie was born in this house.

Wonderful cranes

An owl

Dolphins that are residence of the waters in the surrounding
area.

This tree nearly made it.

So many houses were nearly destroyed but now are being
 restored, like this one. This area is so much like New Orleans.
