This is the first time in a long-ass time that I've taken color photos during the month of February. It's strange, but liberating; #blackandwhitefebruary is certainly a cool idea, yet the fact that I
took all of February's photos in B&W for the past several years means I'm missing out on color memories. I never really thought about it that way until recently; but, no matter, the past is past and we are here
now.
I spent a day in Houston this past Wednesday (the 6th): my main business there was to pick up my visa for study abroad (I am leaving for Chile at the end of the month!), but I wanted to explore and check out the city while I had the chance to be there. **The following is a mix of phone and camera photos.

January 30
I felt like going out on a walk in the snow - in the woods, where the still-covered trails were buried in knee-deep snow and I had no proper snow boots or snow pants to speak of.
