Hutto Cotton Gin and Silos

IMG_5694

The City of Hutto has a historic Cotton Gin.  The city is located along Highway 79, just East of Round Rock and right along the railroad tracks.  Beginning back in the late 1930s, farmers would come to Hutto and deliver their cotton crops.  Today, on this overcast and cloudy evening, the biggest silo was a backdrop for the Sunset Music Series and a great band called Lost & Nameless.  What a great idea!

Three Black Butterflies

IMG_5137

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.
