San Marcos River

IMG_5166

The San Marcos River is one of the best places for swimming.  The water is cool, clear and welcoming.  Sewell Park is always filled with fun people who like to soak up the sun, jump in, swim, and float.  The river begins just north of where these photos were taken – at the San Marcos Springs or Aquarena Springs.  Definitely go for a swim if you find yourself nearby.

As an experiment in Texas Summer heat, the air conditioner decided to break for a few days.  Just in time for a forecast of “it’s going to be hot out there”.  In case you are wondering, the indoor temperature range will vary from 82 degrees as a low to 88 degrees as a high, with more time spent on the 88 degree side of things.  This does not make for a pleasant experience while relaxing at home, but does provide free sauna treatments for all.

Three Black Butterflies

It turns out that I am an Origami Master.  Those three beautiful black butterflies were all created by me.  Give it a try and test your skills with a square sheet of paper.  The event today was called the 1,000 Cranes Origami Festival.  It was a great idea for an event, and the Asian American Resource Center was packed with other skilled Origami Artists working their magic.
