Reflections

I walked around the University of Texas campus this evening since the weather was so beautiful.

Gridiron Glory

The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum has a traveling exhibit from the Pro Football Hall of Fame called Gridiron Glory. I hope you are a fan of the Dallas Cowboys! I grew up watching them, lived less than a mile from the old Texas Stadium in Irving, attended many games as a fan, and even worked as a souvenir salesperson as a teenager. So obviously, my photos from the exhibit are slanted towards the Cowboys. There is much more to see, and the exhibit will be here until January if you want to come to Austin for a visit. 🙂

Short & Steep

Oct1

There is a very short and steep hiking trail which starts off just from the parking lot of the Triumphant Love Lutheran Church on Great Hills Trail in Austin. You descend quickly into the valley between the hills, then you get a little workout as you climb back out. The sunset views from the top are nice also.

MetroRail II

Sep19

If you take the MetroRail to Downtown Austin and back, these are some of the sights you can see.

Lamp

If you eat too much Conans Pizza and linger in the booth a little too long, you just might start taking lamp photos and posting them on the internets. :-O

What if I Fall?

Westech 360

Westech 360 is the office park located at the bottom of the Steck Valley Greenbelt. It has the art piece called “Angle at 19.5 degrees” along with cool opportunities for photos with reflections of clouds. 🙂

Steck Valley Greenbelt

Sep17

It is starting to cool a bit in Austin (only 95 degrees today), so I decided to go for a short hike. Steck Valley Greenbelt consists of a walk downhill to a small creek bed. You will find some mossy spots, some rocky bits, and areas of the trail out in the sunshine. At the bottom of the trail it spits you out into an office park located along the 360 Highway. From there, it is a short climb back to the trailhead. Just the right length for a quick evening jaunt.
