Fortunate to have a great "bee man" on call and even more fortunate having the guys on the ground when we see the nest. They can create quite the problem when we're working on the outdoor lighting and all of sudden come upon them. This nest was about 15' up the main trunk and on a property near Houston. The bee man will relocate them in the next couple weeks and was kind enough to give us a bottle of honey from his bee farm! Benefits of a career in landscape lighting....yum, yum honey!
Liquor, Guns and Landscape Lighting /
When you're on the road in South Texas, you never know what you might see. I love this sign...feel like I'm back home when I'm in this part of the country. Liquor and guns go together like butter and toast!
A Little Company During Our Outdoor Lighting Review /
I always enjoy evening reviews of our outdoor lighting designs, at least in the winter! Summer hours keep me on projects till weeeee hours in the morning, however this my designs sharp and ensures the placement of the fixtures is correct in achieving the "thoughts in my head"...scary.:) It's really nice though when I get a little company. Although he didn't stick around long, I'm sure he enjoyed the results of this landscape lighting project in South Texas.
Timing is Everything /
I was sitting outside my office in the van, leaning over to grab my bag, when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. When I turned, all I saw were feathers. This hawk came swooping in and grabbed a dove out of the air right in front of my van. Missed the actual catch but it sat close for about a minute while getting a good grip on it's prey. You don't see that with an office job! Timing is everything and it helps that your outdoors doing landscape lighting design.
