About Me
- lisashep
- I live close to Houston, TX in a cypress swamp. I love the cypress trees, the frogs croaking in the evening, and the beautiful green color of the trees in the hot summer. I have 2 children, Allyson, 31 and Chris, 28. They both live nearby so we are a very close family. Ally is an insurance agent and Chris works at the Houston Zoo in the bird department. He is the supervisor of his area. I have 2 grand babies, Kahner Ray Krengle and Garrett Alexander Krengle. Kahner is very special and whatever Kahner wants Kahner gets from his Nana. Kevin is my son-in-law who I adore and love very much. I am married to Dr. Gary Holmes. He is an administrator for the LaPorte ISD. He, also, is an adjunct prof at UHCL. I love almost everything to do with nature and the arts.

Old River CBC
Gary and I went on the Old River CBC (Christmas Bird Count) for the Houston Audubon again this year. It was Monday December 29th. We saw 74 specie of birds and lots of distruction of habitat from Hurricane Ike. The whole group saw over 122 specie of birds. This picture was taken at a backyard feeder. The gentleman drove up while we were watching birds at his feeders. He was nice and asked us to come up and few the birds from the porch. On the feeder was chipping sparrows, pine warblers, goldfinches, and carolina chickadee's. We had a nice day. It was a beautiful blue bird sky. We walked almost the whole day. I was a tired bird watcher after the get together at Iguana Joe's for the final count.
