The Visual Arts Center did not disappoint. It supplied me with several opportunities for photographs.

Explore UT – The Stadium

No campus trip is complete without sticking your nose into the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium to see what’s going on.

Explore UT – The Cranes

When they build stuff in Austin, they don’t mess around. I was lucky enough to watch some of the Lacrosse match under the cranes this morning on my first trek across campus.

Explore UT – The Map

Mar7

Today was the open house at The University of Texas called “Explore UT“. It is billed as “The Biggest Open House in Texas! — an extraordinary event featuring close to 400 programs held across the Forty Acres.” And they aren’t kidding. I found some things on campus today that I didn’t know existed and wore myself out by rushing from one awesome event to another. Get ready for a ton of photos to be posted!

Top Austin Model

So, the Whole Foods Market in downtown Austin held a competition for the Top Austin Model this evening. The models were great, the DJ was perfect, and the show was fun. Here are some photos to give you an idea of what went down at this event.

Zilker Botanical Garden – Entryway

While the weather today wasn’t so friendly to the kite people, it was nice to the flowers at the entrance to the Zilker Botanical Garden. The moisture made for some cool photos.

Zilker Kite Festival

The Zilker Kite Festival was weather challenged today. It was still fun to catch the kites, bubbles, people, dogs, and food trailers at Zilker Park. Let’s hope next year is sunny and a bit warmer.

Austin City Hall – The Sights

Austin City Hall is a unique piece of architecture, both inside and out.. Here are some photos from tonight’s wanderings.

Austin City Hall – The People’s Gallery

Feb28

Today’s mission was to go and enjoy The People’s Gallery at Austin City Hall. From the literature, “Each year the Cultural Arts Division of the Economic Development Department presents the People’s Gallery exhibition, designed to showcase regional artistic endeavors and to encourage public dialogue, understanding, and enjoyment of the visual arts. Since 2005, Austin City Hall has been an annual showcase for works by Austin area artists.” It was super enjoyable to see all of the great artwork on display.
