A good mug shot captures the expressions on the subjects face. You can tell many things about a person just by their facial expressions. A smile represents happiness,where as a frown may be a sign for concern.  There all people all around us who express themselves with such simple gestures like the smile that bring about pleasure in others.

Parks and Recreation

The weather is perfect for locals as they gather in the parks for some Saturday fun in the sun.  We start off at Pioneer Park on South Street in Nacogdoches Texas, where The Nacogdoches Crushers Disk Golf Association meet to play their weekend tournament. This Saturday there were a group of 15 players who paired of into seven groups of two in order to play the doubles tournament. The association has three disk golf courses here in Nacogdoches located at Pecan Park, Pioneer Park and Lake Nacogdoches. The disks golf courses are open to the anyone, and the association welcome all who want to play the game.
Traveling now to Pecan Park located on Star Street we find children of all ages enjoying the afternoon swinging on the swings, climbing on the monkey bars, bicycling, and walking their dogs. This park also has a covered area for birthday parties and other gatherings. People come here to get away from the everyday norm to relax, study, and play. Nacogdoches Parks and Recreation spend a great deal of time making sure that the parks are clean and safe to play, so next time you are out and about, take time to stop off at one of the parks and take a load off.
