In Texas, you will find barbed wire, cattle, and sunsets.

In the Rain
Sometimes you get rewarded for taking long walks in the rain.
Mirror Lake Park
Just taking an evening walk in the wet weather. Me and the ducks at Mirror Lake Park.
Floodgates
I took a walk this afternoon to examine the condition of the Colorado River at the floodgates of Tom Miller Dam. I started at the dam, and then went down for a loop around the trail at Red Bud Isle. The Isle was partially flooded, but some of the trail remained accessible. After taking some photos of the flooded state of the river, I returned back up the hill to end up at the dock across from the Hula Hut restaurant. It turned out to be a nice walk, and a great evening.
Field of Flowers
I tried several different paths to gain access to this wonderful field of flowers today, but I was unable to find a legal path in. The best I could do was to take a long walk on the fence line. It’s OK, because the wildflowers were growing there too.
March for Babies
I got up early (for a Saturday) in support of the March of Dimes. The walk was fun, but the ducks at the lake were way cooler. I think they were in search of breakfast, but they were still friendly when they discovered that I was bearing no food.
7th and Main
This is a pretty awesome street corner in Georgetown, Texas. You should check it out sometime.
Never Give Up
Pretty good advice from the graffiti artist / Pac-Man fan. “Never Give Up”. Also, try this Google Doodle if you like Pac-Man.
Evening at the Domain
If you go walking at the Domain on a Friday evening, you can experience several things. You can stop and admire the red roses. You can catch a rock band playing on the Great Lawn stage. Drop in at Flaming Pizza and build your own pizza creation. Make friends with a grackle who really just wants to taste a bit of your pizza. And as you walk back, you can catch the sun as it begins to set behind the power lines. Not too bad for a Friday evening.
Twin Lakes Park
Twin Lakes Park is full of facilities for adults and kids. It even has its own YMCA. But if you get away from things and walk along the lakesides, you can find beauty.
