Texas Book Festival – Rainbow

IMG_2258

Let this be a lesson to me – don’t be grumpy when you find yourself about a mile away from your car, with the umbrella in the trunk, and you are walking back in the rain.  You never know when a magnificent rainbow will pop up out of nowhere to put an exclamation point on your awesome day in Austin.  πŸ™‚

Come Walk with Me

IMG_2029

It is a relatively cool evening as the sun begins to set in Bartlett Texas.  The town is mostly vacant, except for a few cars and trucks.  Most of the shops have been boarded up with the exception of a couple of restaurants and antique stores.  People have purchased or leased some of the downtown buildings to serve as their homes.  The brick paved streets speak of another time.  The town’s history indicates wealth from the cotton and railroad industries.  Come and see some of the sights as I walk through this unique and interesting town.
