I heard through the grapevine that the Driskill had a beautiful Christmas Tree. I found myself downtown late tonight, so I thought I would sneak by and take a look. I was super impressed.

Austin Trail Of Lights – Lights
The Trail Of Lights is about a mile and a half walk through some pretty awesome light displays. There are lots of food trailers and a stage for local talent to perform. Pack up your family, friends, and neighbors and enjoy the evening.
Austin Trail Of Lights – Ferris Wheel
A new addition to the Trail Of Lights this year is the Ferris Wheel. It provides a nice view of the lights and the city.
Austin Trail Of Lights – Tree
Tonight’s mission was the Austin Trail Of Lights. The weather called for a warm, rainy night and they were right. I took the shuttle bus from Downtown Austin and your first sight off the bus is the giant tree of lights strung from one of Austin’s Moonlight Towers. What a sight!
Mozart’s – Christmas Lights
Mozart’s does not mess around when it comes to their Christmas Light Show. After dark, during the holidays, they have a huge audio and light show every hour, on the hour. Every year it just gets crazier. Don’t fight it, just grab a warm beverage and enjoy the show.
Mozart’s – Sunset
Mozart’s Coffee Roasters is the perfect place to end the day on Lake Austin. They have a magnificent drink called “Espresso Shake”. It is the best of both worlds with a mix of espresso and chocolate milk shake. Not to mention that their deck is a great place to hang out, read, and watch the sun go behind the Westlake Hills.
Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria – Rose Garden
If you have checked out my Blog before, you will know that I am always looking for the roses. 🙂
Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria – Net-Work
This is the Do Ho Suh art called “Net-Work”. It extends over a pier at Laguna Gloria and makes for a nice photo opportunity.
Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria – Exterior
I took a walk around the property at Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria this afternoon. It is a Villa/Museum/Art School located on the shores of Lake Austin. The Winter temperatures were in the 70s today, so it made for a lovely day!
Terry Black’s Barbecue
Welcome to Austin! We need another BBQ Joint. 🙂
The good news is that this version of Black’s Barbecue is very similar to the one in Lockhart. I walked in the door and picked my sides – beans and creamed corn. I then turned the corner and watched as my meats were cut and weighed – moist brisket, turkey breast, and a small jalapeño and cheese sausage. Then pay, grab your drink, and enjoy. You can choose to sit inside or on the patio outside, where I am composing this post at the moment. What a beautiful day in Austin it is.
