You probably can’t tell from the photos, but there are two motorcycles spinning around at full speed inside the so called “Globe of Death”. Tonight, there was no death from what I could see. It was most impressive!

Diamond Fest – Carrousel
The Carrousel is always magical. Horses and other animals to ride around in circles.
Diamond Fest – Ferris Wheel
There is a carnival going on in the parking lot of the Dell Diamond called Diamond Fest . They have it all, including rides, food, games, a puppet show, a motorcycle show, a petting zoo, pig races, and a Prince cover band. My favorite ride this evening was the Ferris Wheel and the awesome sunset views from the top. 🙂
Boardwalk
I had an event in downtown Austin again today, so afterwards I went for a long walk on the relatively new Boardwalk Trail . These photos are mostly from the East side of the trail (East of I-35). As you can tell, it is still cloudy and a bit rainy in Austin.
I Love Indigo
This art exhibit at the library caught me by surprise. The artist is Debra King-Isaacs and she is based in Round Rock. She uses “vintage materials salvaged from old homes, farms and ranches across Texas.” Check it out!
Round Rock Public Library
It has been raining here all day, so I decided to go to the Round Rock Public Library to read and chill. There is this cool mural that I have always liked.
Walburg German Restaurant
After a day of hiking, what could be better than a buffet at the Walburg German Restaurant ? This place is a little bit north of Georgetown, Texas. Tonight, the buffet included items like Bratwurst, Wienerschnitzel, German Homefries, Shrimp, Grilled Salmon on Rice, Brisket, Potato Soup, Salad and Baked Bread. And of course I couldn’t leave without sampling the Homemade Black Forest Cake. Yummy!
Chalk Ridge Falls Park – River Hike
These pictures are from the hike along the Lampasas River at Chalk Ridge Falls Park. I saw several animals and birds along this section of the trail. If you like to fish, this is probably a good area. To hike through this section, just cross the wobbly suspension bridge and follow the red trail markers.
Chalk Ridge Falls Park – Waterfall Hike
Today’s mission was to hike at Chalk Ridge Falls Park. This park is along the Lampasas River, just below the dam for Stillhouse Hollow Lake near Belton, Texas. The park has two main sections that I have found so far – one that follows a spring fed creek that turns into a waterfall and one that follows along the Lampasas River. Both sections offer some good hiking trails and places to swim in the summertime. The pictures in this post are from the waterfall section of the park where I hiked, saw a deer and wished that it was warm enough for lounging in the crystal clear waters of the creek.
Kingdom
To celebrate Daylight Saving Time and the concept of “fall back”, I had a late night at Kingdom Nightclub in Austin. This is one of my favorite places to check out DJs and EDM music. The club is relatively small, but the sound system and light show are great.
