Here are some photos from inside the Capitol today. To give you an idea of my tastes at the Texas Book Festival , below is a list of the panels I attended throughout the day.
Wild Wild West
Drinks and a Movie
International Mystery
Tainted Love
Crime Noir
James Ellroy
There were tons of other discussions, music, food, books for sale, and anything else that belongs at a book festival. You should definitely check it out if you ever get the chance.
This weekend is the Texas Book Festival at the Capitol. The book festival itself doesn’t make for exciting photo opportunities, but the Capitol grounds are always beautiful.
Bullets and action. Keanu Reeves did a great job in this one.
I tried out a new hiking trail this evening, and I struck Texas photography Gold (or at least Silver – I’ll let you decide). Butterflies, roses, windmills, sunsets and more! What a nice evening full of surprises. 🙂
For lunch today, we headed over to the Texan Cafe in Hutto. My friends got chicken fried steaks and I got the chicken fried chicken with niblet corn, fried okra, and iced tea. As you can see from the menu board, this place is pretty Texas. But the best part is the pies – yes, the pies! What place do you know of that has a pie happy hour? The Texan Cafe has that. From a fully stocked pie case, I chose the Snickers Pie and it was totally yummy. We paid for our food, waddled out of the place and I was unsuccessful in getting a photo of my friends on top of the Hutto Hippo (the town mascot). Next time… 🙂
I was invited to a luncheon at work today. The food was catered by Chuy’s and they brought fajitas for us. Yay! This little dude was hanging out on the table, and now he is hanging out in my cubicle until somebody decides to give him a better home…
Dew drops on leaves from a rose plant. The same photo – both up close and from the original distance.
It has been a while since I posted some Electronic Dance Music (EDM). Let’s try this one.
I own this park bench on the corner of the Square in Georgetown. Mostly because I am so sweaty after my long walks on the hills of Georgetown that no one will dare to come near me. 🙂
At one public garden in Georgetown, the Passion Flowers are blooming like crazy. I stopped by here before my walk this evening.
