The Mayfield Nature Preserve is a great spot for some short trail hiking. It had been raining most of the day, but let up after work so I could take a quick hike.

Meerkat
The highlight of my day so far was installing Meerkat on my phone. It is the App that gathered a ton of publicity at SXSW this year. It is similar to the App I am most addicted to (Periscope), but Meerkat is now available on Android platforms, whereas Periscope is still limited to iOS platforms. So now that the video sharing App is on my phone, I can share some of my adventures (like yesterday’s most awesome sunset) with anyone in real time as long as I have a phone connection. The App is free, so give it a try if you are interested.
Palm Valley Lutheran Church
Oh my!
Clouds of Sils Maria
My favorite part of this movie was learning about the natural phenomena of “Das Wolkenphänomen von Maloja” or the “Maloja Snake”. This is a cloud bank that moves its way along a valley in the Alps and has been compared to a giant dragon or the largest boa constrictor in the world. The scenery in the Alps is absolutely wonderful!
Passport Greece
So, for one more day, Central Market is celebrating Greece with an event called “Passport Greece“. Many items in the store are there as a link to the Greek culture. I had the Chicken Souvlaki Gyros for dinner, and then went for a short walk around the park out back. There, I got to hang out with the trees, ducks, turtles, and clouds.
Free Concert Series
The Bullock Texas State History Museum is hosting a series of free concerts every Sunday for the month of May. Today’s concert was scheduled for outside, but the threat of rainy weather pushed it inside. There were three bands, and they all were very talented. Maybe I will be back for more next Sunday?
Scenes at Sunset
I was walking near the Capitol Building at sunset this evening and snapped these photos.
State Capitol Belly Dancing
This was a cool event. Celebrating World Belly Dance Day on the south steps of the Texas State Capitol. I also roamed around a bit…
Turtle Creek Pool II
It is back in the pool for me. It has been forever since I swam laps, so today’s 20 minute session was taken slow and easy. Hello self – you should be doing this several times a week, if not every day. I don’t listen to self reasoning very well, but now that my first swim session of the year is done, it should be easy to return to the pool and do it again. The cloudy weather made for a perfect, cool day. 🙂
Bribery Bakery
Today’s lunch was consumed at Bribery Bakery. This place is unique in the area, as they do not have a set menu, but serve up the daily choices from their glass case. The selection of desserts is very extensive and very yummy! My lunch consisted of a turkey and guacamole sandwich, a chocolate and caramel cream pie, and an iced coffee. It was all great. If you find yourself in the area, and are in need of some snacking, then check it out! Today, they were busy baking up a storm for Mother’s Day on Sunday.
