This awesome Spider Sculpture called Arachnophillia is pretty spooky to walk under at night.

Tower Reflections
The Biology Turtle Pond on campus was a nice place to get some photos of the Texas Tower on this cold, drizzly night. The Tower was lit up in Burnt Orange in honor of the Texas Women’s Volleyball Team winning the Big 12 Championship. Yay! I took the opportunity to walk around campus with my camera.
Frank Reaugh – Landscapes of Texas and the American West
Frank Reaugh led a very interesting life. His passion was documenting the Southwest by using pastels and paint. The exhibit at the Harry Ransom Center had several of his art pieces on display. Just imagine getting the chance to travel with him and watch his plein air process of painting the countryside and animals in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Happy Thanksgiving!
It turns out that a rainy Thanksgiving night is a good time to take a photo walk around downtown Austin.
For You
Doing some shopping for my Love at Tiffany & Co. tonight. No, not really, but they have some awesome rings on display. 🙂
Brooklyn
This movie tears at your heart as a young lady in the 1950s has to make life changing decisions between her homeland of Ireland and her newfound home in New York. Try and hold on as you follow along with her.
“I wish that I could stop feeling that I want to be an Irish girl in Ireland.”
Kaiju Attack!!!
The Univesity Hills Branch of the Austin Public Library had a Kaiju event this afternoon. They showed a Godzilla movie on the wall, had a cool dude in costume for photos, arts and crafts for the kids, snacks, action figures, and books for everyone to enjoy. Yes, it was totally a nerd fest…
Voodoo Doughnut II
I may have practiced some of my Voodoo skillz tonight…
Or, I might have just consumed a Voodoo Doll Doughnut at Voodoo Doughnut on Sixth Street. 🙂
Creek Show
Creek Show is a temporary art installation in Downtown Austin. It is going on through tomorrow night, so check it out if you find yourself in the area.
100 Pizzitas
Here is an interesting concept for a restaurant. Pizzas treated as tapas. 100 Pizzitas also has several full blown pizzas to choose from if you prefer not to sample some of the 100 different 6.5″ sized ones. My favorite tonight was number 59 – Provolone cheese, bacon, York ham, mushroom & cream. There is also a view of the Texas State Capitol building from the patio to enjoy.
