Mozart’s Deck

May24

When I left Mozart’s tonight, it was pouring down rain. I took a picture of the deck and then had some fun with the Pixlr App. I will provide you with both the edited version and the original version so you can see which one you like best.

Mount Bonnell

May23

It continued raining in Austin today, so I thought I would see what the view looked like from the top of Mount Bonnell in the rain.

Kerbey Lane Cafe

May22

Yay! Round Rock now has its own Kerbey Lane Cafe (a bit of a novelty for this town because it is open 24/7). I can’t count the number of late night or early morning visits I have made to the original location in a converted house in Austin. The Round Rock location has been open for about a week, and it is already filling up, requiring a wait for a table with a vibrating pager. I ordered breakfast (migas) with a “special” pancake as a side item. The off menu items are always the best here. But there is plenty to choose from on the official menu. If you find yourself in the area, I recommend that you check it out no matter the time of day or night.

Nervo – It Feels

May21

Two remixes of this song. The Boehm Remix, which I think is my favorite so far, and the Club Tester Mix. Enjoy!

“Nothing’s gonna change the way that it feels
‘Cause it feels good, it feels good
So tell me if it’s real, if it’s real, where do we go”

Wild Basin – Scenic Overlook

May20

By the time I reached the scenic overlook at Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, the storm clouds were building. Lucky for me, I snapped some photos, hung out with a friendly rabbit, and made it back to the car just before the storm. Good timing, indeed!

Wild Basin – Waterfall

May20

My goal today at Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve was to see the waterfall. I thought it would be raging with all the rain we have had recently, and it did not disappoint. The downside was that the crossings for Bee Creek were also raging and the hiking conditions were muddy in places. A good test for my hiking boots. 🙂

Wild Basin – Trail Map

May20

Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve advertises that it has 2.5 miles of trails. I did the outside loop this evening and finished just before a heavy downpour. I trekked over to view the waterfall, then headed to take in the scenic views. Overall, a nice quick hike.

More Swimming

May19

Isn’t it nice when all the neighborhood kids go home for dinner and you have the pool all to yourself? Just you and the sunset, the cool water, the clouds, the birds, and the quiet.
