I ran into a few friendly lizards today. They were catching some warm sun in between rain showers. Lucky for me, they allowed me to get relatively close for some photos without running away or jumping on me. It’s not cool when lizards jump on you. 🙂
I braved the rains today to get some photos of these spikey plants with the weather pattern behind them.
Would you like to down size your living space to about 319 square feet? Would you like to own a prefabricated, movable home that could easily slide into a rack-like structure that could be placed in desirable areas in cities across the planet? Would you like to spend less on housing costs and have more disposable income for things like travel? If so, then maybe the Austin startup called Kasita is for you. My first thought is what happens if you have super noisy neighbors? They have a prototype unit located on East Fourth Street in downtown Austin. It is a very interesting concept, and I hope they succeed in their mission. Check it out if you are in the area, or go to the website to learn more about this intriguing venture.
That was nice!
I caught this cool event this morning. Nothing but white fluffy clouds. Then a far away hum of an airplane engine. Next thing you know, people are jumping out and parachuting to a nice, easy landing. A few quick photos, and they are packing up their gear for next time. It all happened so fast…
I was out at the Dell Diamond today, and this guy was hanging out in the parking lot. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
Sometimes a dead end can be a beautiful place to find growth, change, and to take the time to make a necessary u-turn.
An Austin artist by the name of Wiley Ross painted this mural of Willie Nelson. It is located close to the Sixth Street entertainment district at Seventh Street and Neches Street. It is pretty awesome sight for Willie fans like me.
My, how quickly the vulture babies grow up into super large birds. The entire family of four was hanging out on one of the back facilities walls at work today – I could only capture three in the frame of the photos from my vantage point behind the glass at the end of the hallway. Pretty soon the young vultures will be off to scavenge the Central Texas roads for food and to serve their unique purpose in the local ecosystem. They will probably find plenty of squirrels, armadillos, and other unfortunate creatures who failed to cross the road safely. I find it odd that they choose to return to this one secluded spot every year. Until next time, stay safe out there in the world.
Experimenting with the Pixlr App. The original photo (below) needed to be sharpened and adjusted for some brighter colors. I like the edited version better.
